When you are hurting, the first thing we will do is listen. We may listen for a few minutes, or perhaps for an hour or two. Then we will ask you to do something simple.

        Perhaps we will ask you to write down a list of people who have been good to you. Get the name of the person who listened and put that person at the top of your list. If you can't think of any one else, go do something to help someone. When they say thank you, put their name down next. Now do it again. Before long you will have a list of ten, or twenty, or fifty people. Come to a Chimorel Introductory Meeting and we will open more doors.

        The important thing is to reach out to someone else. Before long your hurt will come into perspective and it will be easier to manage.
