Sometimes, for me, just hearing their voice is enough and for them to know that I'm feeling so badly. Often, I'm pretty sure about what they will say, and I have had disappointing phone calls in which I've said, "But you're not helping me. I knew that's what you would say," but sometimes they just offer support in a way that is really what I need. Sometimes I hear something (good) that I would never have expected. I think it's making the connection that is important, knowing that there's someone else out there who knows how badly I feel.
My rule is that if I find I'm obsessing over something, it's best to call because then I can work on letting go.
good luck,
antigua
