Coping In Community

Needing to cope, and struggling to cope, are inescapable parts of the human life. While many of us tend to isolate and convince ourselves we're "fine" during times when we're struggling to cope, the true calling of the Church is to cope together in community. This means we're called to offer help to those struggling to cope, and to ask for and receive help from others when we're struggling to cope. Coping in community produces a strength and hope that we simply don't find anywhere else.
