How many definitions of “support” do you know?
One is “to provide for,” the way the main wage earner supports a family.
Another means “to subsidize,” as in making contributions of time or money to public broadcasting, community theater, local charities etc.
Office staff, who answer the phones and sort the mail, support the work of the company.
There are many more synonyms and definitions, but the support ingredient in A Recipe for Healing is the kind that friends and family give just by showing up; the kind that comes from the community in the form of get well cards and casseroles; someone who listens to your troubles; a club, church, group or program you belong to that fills a hole in your life; or the neighbor and the nurse, who deliver your groceries and tend to your wounds.
We were never intended to struggle through life alone.
Whom do you support, and who supports you?
