To be there for a friend.

To be there for a friend.

Yesterday was a sad day for one of my girl friends.

She lost a family member… She called me right after she got he sad news and I just said, come over to me. You should not be alone. She came and we just were. We talked a bit, watch the television and she slept over. I just couldn’t let her be alone the first night. And I feel so sorry for her lost. I am sad in my heart for her and her family’s lost. And however she feels when she is back in Oslo, I will be there for her. She will need the support and friendship just more to get through the heavy part and be going, do the daily things feel the meaning and be loved.

The lost.

Emptiness.

How important it is to stay close with friends when you live in an other country then your family has been more and more important for me. And especially when a family member dies and you can’t be there when it happens. That just so much more important.

To be there for each other.

Support.

Make sure that your friend feel safety. Let whatever feelings to be okay. Take them in even if you don’t feel you have enough food, space or however you feel.

The friend needs you.

And i realized that I am so thankful for closest the friends I have here in Oslo that has become my family. That whenever my mom will not be a part of this world anymore, I know I have friends that will be there for me as I were there just now.

Family is not just the biologic ones. Family is those you have around you. The friends that support you whenever you need it. Family can be your Church, your closest friends, bonus siblings etc. Take care of them!
