Re: Ministering To The Wounded.
Christian or non-Christian, listen to them. Pray for them. Cry with them. Take them a meal. Be there for them. People in these situations don't need pat answers. There are none. They need people who are willing to encourage them when possible and just listen without judgment or repulsion-either at their situation, the drunk driver or whoever for their actions, or them for their emotions.
It's hard. We want to step in and "fix" everything. But sometimes the only way to "fix" it is to let the wound heal... a little balm of kindness goes a lot farther in those times than any words ever will.
