Reconsidering the Phrase 'Stay Strong': Why It's Not Always the Best Advice
Supporting someone through difficult times requires more than the common phrase "stay strong." Repressing emotions can be counterproductive, so it's essential to encourage expression and seek support.

Be an amazing listener, showing care and understanding. Together, we can make a difference in someone's life.
