One of the best supports I received from a friend was simply being there and listening. They took the time to understand what my child was going through and didn’t shy away from asking questions. Additionally, they offered practical help, like accompanying us to doctor appointments or helping with childcare when I needed a break. Just their presence brought a sense of normalcy and comfort during tough times. It meant a lot that they didn’t treat my child any differently and included them in activities. Those gestures of understanding and support made me feel less alone in the journey.
