What is support?

Support is unconditional. 
It is listening… 
Not judging, not telling your own story. 
Support is not offering advice 
It is offering a handkerchief, a touch, a hug… caring. 
We are here to help women discover what they are feeling…. 
Not to make the feelings go away 
We are here to help a woman identify her options. 
Not to tell her which options to choose. 
We are here to discuss steps with a woman… 
Not to take the steps for her. 
We are here to help a woman discover her own strength… 
Not to rescue her and leave her still vulnerable. 
We are here to help a woman discover she can help herself… 
Not to take that responsibility for her. 
We are here to help a woman learn to choose… 
Not to make it unnecessary for her to make difficult choices.
