When people you love are in pain
Cats: Uncategorized|I don’t usually blog on a personal note.
But this is personal.
People around me are hurting right now, and hurting bad.
They are different people, hurting for different reasons.
But their pain is vicseral.
I hear it claw through the raw flesh of their souls as they try to describe their rage, fear and isolation with mere words.
What useless instruments they are, words.
As one person put it, “it’s like molten lead.”
I ache for these people because they are dear to me.
I wish I could take some of that pain from them, shoulder it for them, for a day or two.
But I can’t.
So I listen, hear, see and try to understand.
But I can never really know.

I hope all is well soon.

I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could do to help you take the pain away from those you love, but I am here if any ranting or just plain sympathizing is needed.
Bless.

It’s so hard when those you love are in pain; we wish we could just take it on ourselves so they don’t have to feel anything. But we can only be strong for them, and be there for them to comfort.
Stay strong,

I say we pie the bastard and you know just whom I’m talking about.
An ultra stale rhubarb with plenty of whipped cream.
