When a mom says she is drowning.
You listen.
And then you say something
and then
you do something.
Say me too.
Say truth.
Say I understand.
Share hope.
And/or cry with her.
Hug her.
(this may have been a drowning day for me!)
And then
Buy her chocolate.
Meet her for coffee.
Plan a Mom’s Night out.
Watch a silly chick flick or
a sci-fi and eat
gummy bears and popcorn.
Pray with her.
Send her a card.
Drop a coffee and bagel on her
doorstep and run.
Love her kids.
Praise her kids.
Go shopping with her.
Run with her.
Send her a note in the mail.
Text her and say hi.
Meet at a bookstore and discuss
a book you are both reading.
Paint pottery together.
Whatever you do…
When a mom says she is drowning.
You listen.
And then you say something
and then
you do something.
