What Do You Say?

Last night, a friend lost a sister. Her parents, who are also my friends lost a daughter. Today when I found out, my heart just broke. My instant reaction was to want to shield the family from the pain. Impossible. I want to make it better. I can't. I want to find the right words to say. There are no words eloquent enough to stop the pain.

So I pray. I cry. I think about them. I will give them some more time and then I will call them. I will tell them how much I love them. It's not enough, but it's all I can do.

It's the being there for them that will make the difference.

Big cyber hugs for you!

You call, you love, you cry with them. No, it doesn't stop the pain. But it helps.
