What do you say to a friend when...

• His child is killed in an accident?
• She confides that her husband has filed for divorce?
• He becomes depressed after losing his wife of 30 years?
• She is diagnosed with cancer?

Often we don't say anything because we don't know what to say.  Or even worse, we say or do the wrong thing.  Wright offers practical ways to help friends when they go through a crisis or suffer trauma.  You'll learn when to listen rather than speak and know the words that comfort, not hurt. You will learn how to pray, when to share Scripture, what to say in a note, and other compassionate ways to reach out.
