Your Question:
Can I still be a good friend if I'm struggling to cope?
Answer:
I think it's wonderful that you're struggling to cope, and I'm here to help. As a pastor, I've seen many people go through tough times, and I believe that's when true friendships are formed. It's not about pretending to be someone you're not, but about being genuine and authentic in your relationships. Real friendships are built on constancy and transparency, as Proverbs teaches us. It's about being there for each other, even when things get tough. And I believe that's exactly what you need right now - someone to be there for you, to listen to you, and to support you. I'm not saying it's easy, but I'm here to tell you that it's worth it. As someone who's been married for 19 years, I can tell you that relationships take work, but they're worth it. And I believe that's true for friendships as well. So, don't be afraid to reach out to me or to others who care about you. We may not have all the answers, but we can be there for you, and that's what matters most.
