Encourage One Another: 

When has a friend show empathy to you--or have you been empathetic to a friend? Do you find it hard, or easy, to be empathetic to your friends’ struggles?  

When has a friend “climbed in a hole” to be with you? How did that make you feel? Do you tend to reach out in that way to others in a dark place or observe more from a distance?
