Growth Through Adversity W1-mt__J2BO4V95l-s1

False · Resilience means adapting during or after adversity. Someone can feel distressed and seek support while being resilient.
I feel more able to face challenges and ask for help. · Feeling more able to face challenges describes increased capability. It does not mean being protected from future pain or hiding every feeling.
You should feel grateful for this loss and stop feeling sad about it. · Demanding gratitude and telling the friend to stop feeling sad dismisses their distress. Offering listening, space or a later check-in respects their choices.
She reports more confidence while still feeling real distress. · Confidence and fear can coexist. Priya reports a positive change, but it does not erase her distress or make the illness beneficial.
2 · Acknowledging pain and asking for support respect Kai's feelings and choices. Demanding gratitude or growth by a date adds pressure. Two beliefs fit.
Lee does not want to talk today; that alone does not show denial. · Lee has stated a boundary about talking today. That statement does not tell us whether Lee acknowledges the accident or has experienced growth.
False · Finding meaning after a loss does not prove the loss had to happen. A positive change does not make harm necessary.
Say the loss sounds painful and ask whether he wants company. · Acknowledging the loss and asking about company offer support without deciding how the friend should feel. The other actions demand a change in his feelings.
