How Can Others Help You When Your Loved One Is Sick: 3?

Think about who could help you. Maybe it's your friends, relatives, neighbours or colleagues. But don't be offended if help is refused. It may be that the person who would like to help you cannot because of time constraints. Maybe someone you want to talk to can't listen to you, but will be happy to bring you the things you need from the supermarket, or vice versa. People around you may also feel confused and not really know how to help you. There are people who simply avoid negative things, others who find it hard to understand what you are going through. However, it is important to speak out - to express your emotions out loud, rather than keeping them to yourself and then thinking that others should have understood the same way. If you feel that someone is avoiding you, don't necessarily ask for help. But if the person is dear to you, it's better to tell them how you feel and maybe together you can come to a better solution.
