Lately we’ve had a lot of conversation in our family about how to ask better questions when someone we love is in need of our support.

Question: Can I do anything for you?

Better Question: How can I be most helpful to you right now?

Question: What’s wrong?

Better Question: Can you tell me what’s going on for you?

Question: Are you ok?

Better question: How are you doing right now?

The question is, what are the better questions you can ask those you love when they are in need of support? The only way to find out is to ask.
