Instead of just sharing my review, we were asked to answer a question. Below you will find the question and then my answer. The Hardest Peace is one of the saddest and yet one of the most uplifting books I have read.
ยท In what ways are you a safe place for other people? Think of someone you know who is hurting. How can you pursue them and become a safe place for their messiness? Not save them necessarily, but be a safe place to fall?
For me, I have had training both as a nurse and as a mental health nurse. I can help people with both. I have become a safe place for two friends because they know I will answer their questions honestly. I will listen without judgement. I recently had a friend in a bad home situation who I was able to offer a safe place to talk or walk or even stay if needed. You don’t have to save them, you don’t have to offer them the world, most importantly you just need to be a listening ear and a source of calm for their troubled world.
