Have a friend losing his wife to cancer. His two kids in elementary school are having behavioral issues.
Totally understood. It's natural just patience and time is all that's needed at the moment.
Do the best thing you can for him. Show up. Suit up. And listen
Hi Karl, I’m sorry F cancer man. Maybe the family could use some help with meals or a game/movie/play night with the kids? Not sure if you attend aa meetings but there could be a member or two in there that’d be willing to help you do that for them like bringing a baked good. Sometimes it’s hard to ask for them at the meetings but I like to pick up a desire chip to run through my fingers throughout the day when I’m feeling anxious or stressed to keep me focused on staying sober or whatever change I’m trying to make for the next hour. I pray to God for yall and that he grants you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, courage to change the things you can and wisdom to know the difference. I’m glad your friend has you in their lives. Peace and blessings to you.
I'm sorry to hear this, I hope things get better. That's gotta be tough
Karl, thanks for sharing. I suggest to continue being a good friend and support your friend and his family.
There is no higher calling than service.
Proud of you
I will keep them in my every thought and put them on a prayer chain.
Continue there for them and don't beat yourself over things you can't control!
