It's not so much about finding the words to say,
it's more about keeping them cheerful and upbeat.
That's not to say lamentation and flat out wailing aren't allowed.
They are part of our human condition.
However, I believe it's better done mostly in private...
others have their own griefs and tragedies.
It takes a uniquely special skill to be present
with another in the throes of their anger and/or their agony.
It takes self awareness, bravery and practice
to be present to another's sorrow
without drowning in it, yourself.
(In my opinion.)
To all those who sit with others in their pain,
a genuflection to your brave humanity.
