Thackney, thank you for posting this - with all sincerity. Perfect timing for a situation I am aware of and couldn’t quit find the words to help others involved understand what my young friends are going through.
Excellent post.
When we found ourselves in this position, we opened up to our Sunday School Class.
We (and the rest of the class) was amazed at how many people we were close to had already dealt with this. Nobody talked about it. About half had already been through it.
Years later my wife provided support for others.
