Emotional Support
This is the most important one for me. I have my God and my husband and friends that
I know will be there to encourage me and walk with me through all of life’s
challenges. I have certain friends that
support me more in one area then another that I will call upon during specific
challenges. Just telling someone how I
feel or what my frustrations are relieves a lot of stress. It’s great when I can do this without fear of
judgment.
Support from others
I have colleges and neighbors that support me by joining me
in solving a problem or contributing a specific skill set that they have where
I might lack.
Physical Support
There are many things I am just not physically able to do
that my husband does such as fixing my car or plumbing. If it wasn’t for him I would go broke paying
other people to do those things. I find
it very helpful to know I can count on these things to be done and it frees up
time for me to worry about other things on my list.
I could not imagine how difficult it would be to live
without these supports. I would not be
able to do all of the things that I do in life as I would have to spend way too
much time doing things that are difficult for me.
I agree that without supports it would be difficult to live. I depend on my supports for everything in my life and don't know where I would go without them. It is amazing how much support systems make our lives worth living!
ReplyDeleteLori,
ReplyDeleteMany times we do not realize how much support we really have. Reflection allows us to see how many people we have that care enough about us to be there when we need them. Where would we be without a great support system?
In thinking about emotional support, I never considered the support I get from God. Without his love and support I would be lost. Until this blog, I never really thought about the different types of support I have and what my life would be like without them all. Makes you appreciate things a little more.
