When a friend is sad about the loss of a loved one, it’s easy to feel helpless. Sometimes we think we’re doing the right thing by trying to cheer them up, or letting them know that they should try to move on. 1. So here are some ways to help you support your friend in time of need.

1. Recognize the stages of sadness.

Most people suffering a loss will go through these stages, often in no particular order: denial (拒绝), bargaining, anger, depression and acceptance. 2. The more familiar you are with these stages, the better you’ll be to support your friend.

2. 3.

We are often ready to praise the person who appears to be dealing strongly with a loss. The problem is that we need to allow them to be human and vulnerable (脆弱的) sometimes too. After all, there’s strength in letting out your feelings from time to time.

3. Ask them what they need.

It’s normal to feel you can guess what your friend needs. Because we’re all different, it is best to ask them what it is that you can do for them. If they say “I don’t know” or “nothing”, don’t walk away or worry. 4. And let them know that you will be there when they think of something.

Finally, keep in mind that loss is not just felt through death. It can be the loss of a job, the loss of hope or expectation and so much more. 5. And your role as a supporter is very important and helpful.

A. Be the person who follows up.

B. Each one is healthy and necessary.

C. Loss is a difficult thing to work through.

D. Don’t always tell them how strong they are.

E. Just offer your support in whatever way you can.

F. Your caring will be appreciated and provide much comfort.

G. But those efforts often put pressure on them and leave them feeling useless.

A Russian legend has a story about the origins of cats. The cat’s coat, it was said, was originally designed for the dog, but the dog became so impatient when coats were being handed out that he was told to wait at the back of the queue. The cat was given the fur instead of the dog. This, according to Russian folk storied, is the origin of why dogs dislike cats.

A nameless cat with a taste for travel flew for three weeks between New York and Tel Aviv in 1984. It escaped from its owner’s cat-box in the plane’s luggage compartment(行李仓)on the first trip and all efforts to get it out with bowls of milk and food failed. After nearly 80,000 miles of flying the airline called in a vet who got it out.

The Chinese attitude to the cat was not clear. Cats were welcome for their ability to kill mice and were considered suitable pets for women. On the other hand, they were suspected of bring bad luck into the home. In the days before the invention of the watch, it was said that they used their cats as clocks. The pupils(瞳孔)of the cat’s eyes were believed to gradually change shape with the position of the sun in the sky. At midday they were a narrow line and they gradually became rounder until sunset.

Britain’s cleanest cat is undoubtedly Harvey, a five-month-old Persian who climbed into his owner’s washing machine. He went through a ten-minute wash cycle before someone noticed him through the glass door, and pressed the “stop” button. Harvey was soon back to his usual self.

Cats seem to be able to sense earthquakes. Josie, who lives in California, warned her family of a quake in 1971.

She wore her owners. Mr. and Mrs. Miller, at 5:50am by jumping onto the bed and running around. When the Miller followed her out of the house, Josie ran off. The earthquake was only a small one, but the cat raised the alarm every time there was a quake after that.

The city of Vienna has always been popular for its famous physicians. Around the year 1482 one such well-known physician was Dr. Paul Urssenbeck. His fame came from his ability to predict with certainty whether a patient would recover his or her health or would die. He thus became known as the doctor of death.

In his earlier years, he followed the trade of a poor but honest weaver in the town of Deckendorf near Straudigen in Bavaria. It was a time of famine(饥荒), and he, his wife, and their eleven children were in great need. Then a twelfth child was born, and they could find no one to serve as its godparent. As a last chance, the poor weaver walked to a nearby village and asked an old friend to serve as godfather, but met only rejection. Disappointed and frustrated, the poor man made his way back to his family. While walking sorrowfully through the dense forest toward his home, he said, “If only I could die.” Suddenly a tall figure dressed in a dark cloak(斗篷) appeared before him, saying, “You called me. I am Death. What can I do for you?” As much as the man had previously wanted to die, he now wanted to live. “I am seeking a godfather for my youngest child. But I cannot find anyone who will serve as his godparent,” answered the weaver sadly. “I will accept this responsibility,” said Death. And thus it happened.

Following the baptism(洗礼), the mysterious godfather took the father aside and said, “Since I own neither gold nor silver to give to your child as a baptism present, I will make you into the most famous doctor of all times. Whenever you are called to a sick person, I—invisible to others—will seat myself either to the head or to the feet of the patient. If I am seated at the head, then this will show you that hope for recovery exists. If I am seated at the feet, then the patient will die.” Through this gift, the weaver was able to cure many illnesses, for he knew whether the patient who had sought his treatment would be helped by medications, or whether he would die. Soon the previously poor weaver became a wealthy and respected physician. However, his increased wealth made him ever-more greedy.

One day, a very wealthy man fell seriously ill, but when Dr. Urssenbeck was called in, and he saw that Death was already seated at the patient’s feet. Upon hearing the diagnosis, the relatives could not be comforted, and they offered the physician a fortune if he could heal the man. Then Urssenbeck resorted to trickery. He quickly had the patient’s bed turned around, so that Death was now seated at his head. Thus the man was rescued from Death, and he regained his health. On the physician’s way home, Death suddenly appeared before him. “You unfortunate one, why have you deceived me? In return for the life that you have given back to the rich man, you yourself must now die.” Death spoke with a threatening voice, and disappeared.

Dr. Urssenbeck suddenly found himself in a large room where thousands of candles were burning. Death said to him, “Each of these candles represents someone’s life. This tiny stump that is about to go out is yours.” Terrified, Dr. Urssenbeck reached for a taller candle, wanting to take some wax(蜡) from it to fill his stump, but in doing so he touched his own candle, and it went out, and he fell to the floor dead. That evening his body was found in a valley. He was buried in the graveyard of Saint Stephen’s Cathedral.
