2.    A Confidant

Every broken-hearted person needs someone to talk to, whether that person is a friend, relative, spiritual director, or therapist. As long as that person is trustworthy, and someone who will listen to you without judgment. Someone you can turn to when you feel overwhelmed and need sound guidance.

Having a confidant is good for getting things off your chest, but this heavy cross you are bearing is also a conduit for change. It’s an opportunity to grow spiritually and emotionally. You can become better, stronger, and wiser, and your confidant should be someone who can support you in this.

Go ahead! Courage! In the spiritual life, he who does not go forward goes backward. It is the same with a boat, which must always go forward. If it stands still, the wind will blow it back. – St. Padre Pio
