Tom McGloshen- Dealing with Friends that are Seriously illWe had the great privilege to hear from Tom McGloshen regarding how we can better support friends who are critically ill, or have experienced a loss of a loved one. We don’t always know what to say, or do when someone is critically ill, or coping with loss.
Two very important things to keep in mind:
- Remember who we are and who we are not
- Expressing we care, listen to what our friend or loved one is saying and learning from them is extremely important
Another approach you can take is to use empathetic guessing. An example may be; “If you want to talk, I am here”. It is a great way to show someone you care.
The key is that we listen very carefully as the person struggling will tell you what to say next. Dealing with loss and illness is never easy. The most important thing you can do to support a friend, or loved one is to be there for them.
If you are someone you know is struggling, please leverage your club and community resources.
- Syntero’s website has some great information and services to offer https://www.syntero.org/
- Tom will also share out his “what to say and what not to say” in the near future

Dealing with Friends who are Seriously Ill
Dublin A.M. Rotary
May 22, 2020
The Rev. Thomas H. McGloshen, Ph.D.
In dealing with friends who are seriously ill, we often don’t know what to say. We do a dance of approach and avoidance. We’re interested. We care. And, we want to communicate all of that—without being intrusive or insensitive—but we’re not sure how to make that connection appropriately.
