The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

    "Out of Solitude: Three Meditations on the Christian Life". Book by Henri Nouwen, 1974.
