A listening ear

When communicating with your loved one, try to get a feel for their mood. If it seems like they are feeling particularly talkative, sit back and listen. Try not to dominate the conversation and if they are feeling down or just wanting to vent, let them. They may just need a moment to let it all out. Don’t dismiss their feelings or overwhelm them with toxic positivity.
