Loss. We've all known loss. Sometimes you lose somebody for a while. Sometimes you lose somebody forever. It might seem really awkward to tell somebody close to you that you've noticed they're having a difficult time. Awkward is good. Tell them you noticed. "Hey buddy, you seem really down lately. I'm here, you know, if you want to talk. Or just go grab a beer. Or hang out and chill." is something you could say and that would totally work, even though they might not want to talk, grab a beer or hang out. It shows them somebody cares. It shows them they are noticed. It shows them they are valued. Don't leave the people you care about behind because it would feel awkward to tell them about what you're noticing. Be somebody's bridge over troubled water. Today might be the last day you could let them know they are important, even though they think they're worthless.more
