What do you say when you don't know what to say? When the heartache of someone you love is so deep and so hurtful... and you know that anything you said, any words you found... they wouldn't be enough. They wouldn't be enough to change what hurts, or to cut through their pain to salve, or to even communicate how much
your heart hurts for the pain theirs is feeling.
What do you say when there is literally nothing to say, nothing that could possibly be said?
Maybe the best you can do, though it never feels like it's enough, is simply to be there. Show up. Just show up. Let them know that you're there and that you're a safety net when holding on to their pain becomes too painful.
That hard roads don't have to be walked alone.
