Unconditional Support is _____?

Judith is the author of The Sacred Women’s Circle series, romantic fiction that honors spiritual practices that nourish the soul and celebrates the journey from relationship to romance.

Back to basics. What does “unconditional support” really mean?

What if we don’t approve or like what that person is doing?

Do we do whatever we’re asked because we are unconditionally supporting that person?

There is a point in Hunter where she, to put it mildly, loses it. Her daughter, Logan, has run away, is on the streets and who knows what danger she’s in. When she learns Gabriella has found Logan and that Logan doesn’t want her to know where she is and therefore Gabriella won’t tell her. To say Hunt has a melt-down is being kind.

The other women in the circle are witnesses to Hunter’s devastation. They want to support her but…can they support Hunter without turning on Gabriella? Can they support Gabriella without turning on Hunter? And if you see both sides of the issue, then what?

Sometimes there appears to be more questions than answers.

But every question does have an answer. It’s just that, as is the case in our own lives, some answers aren’t the ones Hunter wants to hear.

Unconditional Acceptance is about acknowledging that ‘this’ is where the person is right now. Sometimes we even see how they got to ‘this’ place.

Unconditional Support is about showing up even when it is hard or uncomfortable. It’s about speaking the truth in a kind, compassionate and straight-forward manner.

When Hunter is in major drama melt-down mode, Grant (the hero) is the one who steps up and supports Hunter’s higher goal - her daughter's safety —by challenging her.

How is railing at Gabriella, fate, etc. helping Logan? If she had to choose, which is more important – Logan being safe or her being at Logan’s side?

It isn’t that this is necessarily an easy choice, however in some ways it’s often a simple one.

Since I do want this to be a dialogue, please share your thoughts in the comments section.
