5 Ways to be there for a Friend Who's Fatherless

Father’s Day is tough for those without dads. Their fathers may have passed, or simply aren’t a part of that person’s life anymore. As a friend of someone who’s fatherless, knowing how to support them is important:

  1. Put yourself in their shoes–how would you feel without a father?
  2. Don’t make it a big deal–let them take the lead.
  3. Listen if they want to talk about it.
  4. If you’re complaining about your own father, watch your tongue.
  5. Be sincere–don’t say, “I’m here for you” unless you actually mean it.
