Notes from Coping with Calamity Class
See people. Comfort them. Be there for them. (But don’t attempt any rescues) Resist the urge to fix, to judge, to preach, to take a swing. (On paper or in person) Challenge, coach. Ask why. (Without having the answers) Be kind. Be patient. Be curious. Be yourself. (Flaws included) Don’t hold back; invite everyone in. (Even if the house is a mess) Practice mercy. Have faith. (In them and in you) Laugh. (Whenever possible) Rant. (Breathe in) Listen. (Breathe out) Write. (Love) Photo by Jay Filter at https://jayfilterphotography.com/
