True helping is like a rocking motion. Grief thrusts Friends in one direction. With our caring, that painful motion slows and swings back to neutral. Then a new motion continues in the opposite direction of hope, which can eventually calibrate a new balance. These phases occur at different points in the swing. They are gateways that we move through with Friends. As we approach and pass through them, magic happens.
