    There are many people on thus forum who are in pain.

    How can we help our brothers and sisters whom we have not met in person?


    One thing I know to do is to give that person space and not be too critical when he or she is "lashing out".

    Another is to pray for that person.


    Any other ideas?

    > Talk openly.

    > Don't use cliches.

    > Send gifts.

    Send them Bible quotes daily. Regular light talk. Spill a few jokes. And always them feel they are important and that there is hope.

    One way I believe is to engage people in conversations while they are here. Some many not be open to sharing publicly, so starting a conversation might be more appropriate.

    We all I imagine from time to time need to know that there are other brothers and sisters out there. We can show our care and concern in what we post. It may seem like a little thing , but you never know. It might just mean the world.

    We can all have weak moments. Sometimes these moments are long lasting :Frown
