Instead of saying, “I know what it feels like,” let’s say, “I cannot imagine your heartbreak.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of saying, “You’re strong; you’ll get through this,” let’s say, “You’ll hurt, and I’ll be here.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of saying, “You look like you’re doing well,” let’s say, “How are you holding up today?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of saying, “Healing takes time,” let’s say, “Healing has no timeline.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of saying, “Everything happens for a reason,” let’s say, “This must feel so terribly senseless right now.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when there are no words to say at all, you don’t need to try and find some. Love speaks in silences too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
