“How can you be there for someone who’s just been diagnosed with colon cancer?”
You don’t need to have the perfect words. You just need to show up.
Listen more than you speak. Offer help with meals, rides, or appointments. Check in regularly. Sit with the hard moments. And remind them they don’t have to navigate this diagnosis alone.
Support doesn’t always look big—sometimes it’s simply being there. 💙
