Words That Comfort Before Surgery ❤️

Reaching out before someone's surgery? I know it can feel awkward—what do you even say?! 😅 I've been there, and trust me, a few kind words can mean the world. Here’s what I like to do: • Keep it light and positive! "Wishing you a speedy recovery!" or "You're in good hands." • Remind them how strong they are—"You’ve got this!" • Offer practical help: "Can I bring you dinner or run errands?" • Share a favorite quote or a little humor to ease the mood. 🙈 • Ask how they’re feeling and really listen. Sometimes, just being there is everything. If they’re spiritual, I’ll say a prayer or share a comforting verse. And I never forget to remind them: "We’re in this together." Honestly, even a quick text like "Thinking of you today!" can lift their spirits. Let’s make sure our friends feel loved and supported before their big day. ❤️ What’s your go-to message before surgery? #SupportMatters #SurgeryEncouragement #BeThere #Education

How I Show Up When My Friend’s Heart Breaks

Last month, I was curled up on my friend’s couch, both of us in pajamas, surrounded by empty tissue boxes. I never feel totally sure what to do in those moments, but here’s what actually helped: • I just listened—no advice, no fixing, just letting her talk (and cry). • Every few days, I’d send a silly meme or a quick “thinking of you” text, just to check in. • When she needed a break from the heavy stuff, I’d invite her for pizza or a walk around the block. • I also made sure to set some boundaries and take care of my own energy, too. Everyone handles heartbreak differently, but just being there really mattered for both of us.

How I Learned to Be There for a Friend in Crisis

You never think you’ll be the one holding your friend’s hand after they’ve tried to end it all. But here I am, wondering if my awkward hugs and late-night texts are enough. I used to think you had to say the perfect thing, but honestly, just being there—offering a shoulder, a listening ear, or even a silent presence—matters more than any speech. I’ve learned not to push for answers or pretend I understand the pain. Instead, I ask, “What do you need?” Sometimes, it’s a ride to therapy. Sometimes, it’s pizza and bad movies. I remind myself: I can’t fix everything, but I can help them feel less alone. And isn’t that what friends are for? 💛 #FriendshipSupport #MentalHealth #BeThere
