There are three types of people in this world: folks who could care less about what you’re going through, people who offer to help but don’t actually mean it, and those who do things that make you feel all sparkly inside. (OK, there are probably more types of people, but for today’s purposes there are three!)

The BFFs talk a lot about what we find helpful or not in our own lives with health conditions, and the latter camp tends to get a lot more airtime. So instead of ranting about the atrocities of humanity (the internet is plenty rife with that these days), we’re going to zoom in on things others have helped us with that actually made a positive difference in our lives. Hopefully it serves as a bit of inspiration for the people in your life who are going through it!
