“When we honestly ask ourselves which person 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 friend 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 and face with us the reality of our 
powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.” 

― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey
