For someone who loves them
What is happening to the person you love, what helps, what makes it worse, and a page you can send them.
If someone you love is questioning or leaving the Church and you are still in it, this path is for you. It is written by people who have been on both sides of that table. It will not try to change your faith. It will tell you what is happening to the person you love, what they most need from you, and the handful of things that reliably make it worse. If they sent you this link, it is because they want you to understand, and because they are afraid of losing you. Start with Someone you love sent you this. If you want the evidence for why people leave before you read any of this, Why Mormons Leave has the numbers and what former members asked of the people who stayed.
