The brain and nerve cells require a constant supply of oxygen and will die within a few minutes, once you stop breathing.

Do say – “It’s good to see you.” Let them know you have been thinking of them. At a loss for words – It’s okay to say, “Mary, I don’t know what to say or do, but I am here and I care about you.” Listen – If the person talks about being anxious, listen quietly. Don’t try to change the subject or silence the person.
