Thanks, lovely video!
Nice ideas of conversation with a friend who is going through tough time.
Useful video! Helpful to express feelings.
I don't remember how many times I have had bad news of my friend but there was only once I remember when I was 13. Maybe because that was the first time that I had awareness about what bad news is. My close friend's father had a terrible car accident. We could not say if he could survive. My friend came to me, she said, she cried. I could not say anything at that time. I just gave her a huge hug and cried with her.
I’ve had to experience receiving bad news and I don’t say anything. I just completely fall apart and cry even if I don’t know the person just out of empathy. Does anyone else experience that.
