How to show moral support?

This is not a complete lists of tips but just a fruit of my thinking.

Moral support is a form of psychological support rather than physical. I can imagine before I have a friend who have a huge problem with a bills, and she really needs cash, and one of our friend say, " I can only give moral support instead of cash!" A moral support might be non physical help but it's very important in our life.

Do you have a moral support when you have a hard time? As of me, I do have few friends who really supports me, and my family who shows their moral support when I have a problem. And that is also I want to give back to them whenever they need me. Honesty, it's hard to find sincere people who are willing to keep up in times of difficulties, those who are not judgmental, and kind-hearted people.

When you look at the image, a big is being hold by a hand. Each of us may look like strong or tough like a tree. But there are certain points in our life that we became weak and vulnerable, and we need a support group to help us through emotionally, to keep us still standing. It can be a friend, best friend, a family, or a life partner.

This shows that no man is an island, we all need someone to lean on, to talk with, to hug, to share with our opinions, and it's a part of our life, growth and maturity as a person.

How to show moral support?

Be physical present in person

Our presence is necessary in our family especially when the kids had their a special occasion in school, or they will joined a contest. I can remember when my daughter joined a contest which is 'Tula", she wants me to stand right in the corner where she could see me on the stage, so that she will not be frightened in front.

Encourage

There maybe discouragement that will come along the way, our encouragement can make them to strive again.

For one year, of writing in noise.cash and read.cash platform, I also find people who really show their moral support to someone who have a hard time, like physical illness and family problem. By encouraging them to be strong, and fight, despite of any situations, which I never experienced in real world.

Sometimes I will share my struggles in my life here, and in return I can read comments that shows moral support, it matters to me, even if I didn't know you all personally.

Be reachable and reply a chat

Lately, I have a struggle with our plan to transfer a new place, and I really feel that I need to open up, because I'm confused whether I will say yes or no to my husband, he just waited for my decision for how many weeks.

One time, I've chat one of my friend, whom I consider one of the truest person I ever had. And she give me advices and possible scenario if we will transfer to a new home. (The purpose of transferring a new place is in order for us to save my husband salary, instead of spending it for his travel expenses)

Of all my friends, she's the only one that I can have the courage to open up my problem, because she's very nice to me, an Ilongga, she's sweet even if she's angry, hihi. We had a long conversations on that day, and after that, I can feel that my burden becomes light, and I have come up to my final decision to agree with my husband.

Refrain from reading their minds

This means that we should not give any assumptions to what they feel or think. It's always favorable to let them speak up or open a conversation by giving considerations with what they feel, especially when a person is in a heartbreak.

Be kind

Kindness in a way that we speak with respect. Just like a friend who is diagnosed having a cancer, it's a no no, to share that you saw some post online that they have died or suffer because of that kind of illness. It's like a form of stabbing at their backs without further considerations. It's unethical or improper to act that way.

Final thoughts

Moral support is invisible but the effect of it, will goes deep down, and may change a person's view point in life, and gives enlightenment and even guide them into a right decision.

We can always extend it, to our family, friends who have a hard time lately, also if we are willing to accept in an open arms to listen and not by judging them first.

I have shared this topic because I have experience a moral support from a true friend of mind, and it's really helpful, when there is someone who is willing to listen and care for you. And since I have experienced it, I am able to give it to others as well.
