support

When you are going through a tough time who do you go to for support? Spouse, friends, parents? If need be do you see a professional or seek out a support group? I fully believe that there is no shame in seeking out support. Sometimes there is no choice. Life is rough, and unfair, and it sends us all situations that nobody can be prepared for. Has this happened to you? Have you been handed something that is hard to deal with? Do you know someone that has?
You can be a great help by just listening and being there for that person. I know that without our local support group....well, I don't know where I would be. Their support, services, programs have helped me through some rough times. They are a shoulder to cry on, they are a wealth of information. They saved my sanity.
