Like many people I have been confused and hurt by lack of support or understanding. This used to really upset me until I realised that I needed to compartmentalise my life. People do not come in one shape or personality type. We are all unique. This means that we can’t expect to have a “one-friend-fits-all” solution to support. We will get different things from different people. Can can read about the eight different types of friends here.
What type of support?
I believe that we need several different types of support. The support we need also changes over time. It can change from day to day when we are in a period of flux or deep mourning. It also changes over longer periods of time as our healing builds momentum. My list of support “categories” is a starting point and not a complete list. What I consider to be support will not hold true for everyone else.
We are all unique, after all.
We need support from people who:
- Are experiencing similar emotions to us now
- Have been through similar situations in the past
- Had a different outcome to their situation yet remain empathetic to ours
- Have no experience of our situation personally yet love us so support us
