Image via WikipediaTwo of my friends
received bad news:
a death
and a troubling diagnosis.
And everything I want
to say to comfort them
sounds so overused.
In my search
for the message I want to convey,
I remember my own bad news
and how I felt to receive it.
I run my fingers over scars,
saying kind words to soothe them
and sigh with relief
that I survived those bad times.
I realize then what I really want to say:
I AM HERE FOR YOU
if you need me.

Those are the most comforting words that you can say...........
Words we need to hear, words we need to say to others.
