This past week my boundaries have been tested, but was able to feel great even though a friend really needed my help. I am manager at Ubreakifix x my assistant is becoming a very close friend. I am still learning how to show up for her. This month she lost two family members x last week she was 1013. I asked her what she needs x actually listened. I cried with her x was just there. Reminding her that the ppl we lose in this life live forever in our hearts x to give herself permission to grieve. She has not been getting much sleep, but I pray she has sweet dreams. Before I would have depleted my energy trying to do the most, but I had to remind myself I can not make her stay, but I can create a safe space for her. All in all, she is still here thinking of the good times she had with them while they were here. Please keep my friend Briana in your prayers, thank you for reading x I pray everyone has a blessed day 💞✨️

@Missy Thank you for sharing that, sis. First of all, sending prayers and strength to Briana, and to you too. It’s powerful that you were able to hold space for her without draining yourself, because that balance is real hard sometimes. You did exactly what she needed—listened, supported, and reminded her to grieve in her own way.
Creating that safe space without losing yourself in the process is major growth, and I see you! It’s beautiful that you can be there for her emotionally while also knowing your own limits. That’s how we keep pouring from a full cup. I’ll definitely keep Briana in my prayers, and I pray you continue to feel strong as you navigate this with her. You’re doing the work in such a compassionate way, and that matters.
Wishing you both peace and rest. Stay blessed, sis. 💞2
