There are some truly wonderful resources out there to guide and help us say and write the appropriate thing at the right time to a hurting friend. From the many books, web sites and friends who generously shared their personal experiences I have taken the liberty of including some hopefully helpful pointers.  I'm not a psychologist or qualified counselor.  But at 42 years of age I've experienced many of these challenges and with many more of them ahead of me, now look to the future with confidence. I've also made mistakes, which is the very best way to learn... 

I've included quotes that I love in the hope that you will too. And links that I found simply through searching on the internet. They look helpful, but are for reference only. I have not fully reviewed the content and cannot therefore wholeheartedly endorse them.

My thanks go to all those who have gone before and left so many beautiful comforting words as their legacy. My favorite quotes can be found all through this site.

Thank you for visiting. We would LOVE to receive feedback! Please send emails to: Feedback@healingbaskets.com
