What should I do or say?

Initial reactions may be difficult. Your first reaction may be anger or denial. “And it’s important to have enough self-control to lay all that aside and to have a little patience and to begin to talk and begin to listen and begin to try to understand better.” You don’t have to resolve everything in a month or a week or a year.

It is always important when reaching out and ministering to acknowledge another person’s feelings and experiences. We strive to meet people with Christlike love and understanding wherever they are on the path of mortality and go from there.
