I freaking love you. Number Eight is by FAR my favorite. Do NOT try to cheer me up when something is really wrong, or I just need to be upset and vent. It's patronizing. Oh, hell yes.

It's always hard to know how to help someone else. While not all of these apply to everyone and every situation, they're good things to think through. Thanks for sharing.

Three of the people I treasured most did not speak to me for months after I told them what was going on, and their abandonment just added one more shitty thing to the pile. If you don't know how to approach a friend going through a very difficult time, ASK. Don't evaporate. It's true what they say. You really do learn who your true friends are when you go through something like this--and it's often not who you'd expect. I’d like to add one more–Don’t disappear.
