This would have been right at home in the Pragmatic Wisdom publication! So wise, Sheri. Expectations and desires can really muddy the waters. I am so pleased that you were able to recognise it was not your job to heal your friend's hurt. It can be so hard sometimes NOT to step in and try to do that. But in trusting that she had the capacity to deal with her own hurt, to change her perception if necessary, you gifted her something far more valuable. A wonderful share.
