Helping Others
What it means to truly help someone
Empathy
Empathy is feeling with someone instead of just looking at them from the outside.
It sounds like:
“That sounds really hard. I can see why you feel that way.”
You’re not fixing, judging, or comparing. You’re saying: “You’re not alone in this.”
Support
Support is what you *do* with that empathy.
It sounds like:
“I’m here with you. What do you need right now?”
“Can I sit with you, call someone, bring you food, go with you to that appointment?”
Support turns care into action, even if the action is just staying present.
Validation
Validation is telling someone their feelings make sense, even if you’d feel differently.
It sounds like:
“Given what you’ve been through, it makes sense you feel scared/angry/sad.”
You’re not saying the situation is fair or okay. You’re saying they are not crazy for feeling what they feel.
Why this matters for real help
Without empathy, support can feel cold.
Without support, empathy can feel empty.
Without validation, people feel unseen and often shut down.
When all three are there:
people feel safe enough to be honest
shame and isolation start to loosen
they’re more able to think clearly, make decisions, and accept deeper help
Real help doesn’t start with advice.
Real help starts with:
“I see you. You make sense. I’m here with you.”
