 Stanley learned how to walk with his wife through deep depression. Did I mention persistence? This is really not for the faint-hearted in terms of quick solutions. You have to figure out what's most important to do next. Is it to do nothing? Is it to listen? Is it to advise? Is it to encourage? Is it to learn more so that I can understand? Lend an ear when someone needs patience for this difficult journey. A message from the Mennonite Churches and Faith and Values Media.
