Often, it’s easier for us to comfort someone we know well. We know if this person is a “hugger” or if they prefer to be sent flowers or simply left alone. But, what if the person we see struggling is a new co-worker or acquaintance? We still want to offer support and encouragement, but what should we say or do?

This week’s Mourning Glory Minute touches on this issue and offers a simple, but often overlooked solution. Click the video image below to view the video.

Have you ever received comfort from a new friend? Or given it? I’d love to hear your stories!

Warmly,

Georgia
