One of the most significant actions of your life is that you support someone when you help him or her through a challenging time. However, the best     is that when you support others, you are also supporting yourself. When you     to give support to others, it is usually a     that you are also stopping giving support to yourself.

I was hooked on a story about Donna, which clearly showed the     of support.

Several months ago, Donna had just broken up with her boyfriend and had a difficult time accepting the     . She refused to be accompanied and stayed at home     , weeping all the time ,which certainly was not helping.

Early one morning, Donna received a phone call with some     news: her best friend’s brother had been     in an accident. Donna had known this friend, Mary, and her brother     her entire life, and the news was devastating. Donna     her sadness and got the      soon and drove to Mary’s house to be with her.

At the      and afterwards, she held Mary close while she cried     tears, sat by her side as the waves of grief     Mary, and slept next to her to make sure she did not wake up alone. During that time she hardly felt any     in her heart.

Several weeks later, when life began to return to normal, Donna     that the level of support she had given Mary far overtook any support she had     herself during her dark time. She was able to use the support she had given her friend as a     for the support she needed.

When you find yourself     to support others, see if there’s something within yourself that is not supporting.     , when you give complete support to others, it’ll mirror those places within you that require the same level of attention.
