[TMIC] Re: Losing friends

[JHarper33]

People notoriously avoid situations in which they feel awkward or don't know what to do, and I think that's likely the single biggest reason people avoid others who are ill, who have lost a loved one, or who are going through some trial. They're paralyzed by thoughts like, "Things will be different....I don't know what to do....I don't know what to say...."   Barbara H.
