How to help on hard days.

If someone you love is having a hard treatment day, try support like this:

Don’t say: “How are you?” (they’re exhausted)
Say: “Do you want company or quiet?”

Don’t say: “Let me know what you need.”
Say: “I can do one of these three things—choose one.”

And remember: the goal isn’t to cheer them up.

It’s to help them feel less alone.
