00:00:00
Have you ever had somebody say, "Let me
00:00:01
know if you need anything?" actually let
00:00:03
you know that they needed something?
00:00:04
>> Never. Never, because you've now now
00:00:07
you've made it
00:00:09
more comfortable on you
00:00:10
and now more of an obligation on them.
00:00:13
And we go, "Oh, you know what? I said
00:00:15
all I need to say. I Let me know if you
00:00:17
need anything. Let me know how I can
00:00:18
help." Right? When all you've done is
00:00:21
just given them an obligation. You've
00:00:24
you've burdened it even more. Of course
00:00:25
they don't want to burden you. They
00:00:26
don't want They don't even want to They
00:00:28
don't even want to live in some of these
00:00:29
moments. They they don't want to exist.
00:00:31
They don't know how to do it. And saying
00:00:33
let me know if isn't going to help them.
00:00:35
Instead,
00:00:36
here's what you do when somebody's
00:00:37
grieving.
00:00:39
You do the thing. Whatever you thought
00:00:41
about doing, go do it.
00:00:43
If you wanted to bring them dinner
00:00:46
or said, "Let me know if you need any
00:00:47
food." Just go get them food. Go do the
00:00:49
task. Go run the errand. Go show up and
00:00:51
do their laundry. Go
00:00:53
mow their yard for them. Go do the
00:00:55
thing.
00:00:56
If I really want you to be there for me
00:00:59
and you really want to be there for the
00:01:00
other person,
00:01:01
you don't have to ask. You just go do.
