'When we honestly ask ourselves which people in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who,instead of giving advice, solutions or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

 

The ones who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, those are the ones who care.'
