Takeaways:
- We need the comfort of other people when we are suffering
Three Friends
- We all need a few people in our lives that can be trusted and be present with us when we are at our lowest.
- Real friendship is worth the work.
A Good Friend Shows Up
- Good friends don’t look on from a distance, they become present.
- Sometimes being present is the best comfort we can give to someone who is suffering.
Sympathy and Empathy
- Empathy is the ability to connect with and comprehend the emotions of others, including their pain, sadness, or distress.
- Sympathy is feeling pity for someone while being glad we don’t have the same problems.
- Weeping with those who weep is a way of feeling what they feel. Empathy is feeling, not fixing.
Discussion Questions:
- Can you think of a time when someone came to visit you and their presence was a blessing? Why did it mean so much to you?
- Why do you think it’s better to sometimes to show up and say nothing when a friend is suffering?
- Why is it easier to sympathize with someone than to empathize?
- If you are suffering, which one would you rather have shown to you, sympathy or empathy? Why?
