I have a friend with 18 month old triplets, who seems quite comfortable with asking for and accepting help, as she should. I don’t fault her for asking, and I’m eager to help out however I can, yet I have a hard time forcing myself to ask for assistance. I’ve sometimes wondered what it takes to push me over that line.

I am queen of not asking for help—I am horrible horrible! I am so glad that you had a network to support you–and that you were brave enough to ask. Most of all, I hope you are recovering comfortably.

This is one thing I appreciate about our neighborhood moms’ group — Family meals for new babies or illness or family losses. I think the fact that the system is already set up makes it easier to ask. It really feels like a pay it forward sort of thing once meals have been provided for you and you’ve provided meals for others. This sort of helping is what community is for, I think.

I know exactly how you feel! I felt the same way! (And I also felt guilty that I couldn’t bring you a meal with my surgery being the same week.) But we have to accept that friends really do want to help and it’s okay to accept their help. Like you, I’ve found it has been such a blessing to have friends help out in this way. When I’m the one making a meal for a friend, I know I don’t feel put out, I feel honored to help, so why do we feel so awkward about letting people know when we need their help?

Hardships in life are a way of reminding us who our friends are I guess!
