Instead of saying, "I know what it feels like," we say, "I can't imagine your pain." Instead of saying, "You're strong, you'll get through this," we say, "You'll suffer, and I'll be there for you." Instead of saying, "You seem fine," we say, "How are you today?" Instead of saying, "Healing takes time," we say, "You'll get better soon." Instead of saying, "Everything happens for a reason," we say, "There's not always an explanation, but I'm here with you." And when there are no words to say, you don't have to search for them. Even silence can express love.
