What we really want to know is that we’re not alone. We need to know someone else has endured nights of barely breathing and they kept waking up to new mornings. Over the years, I’ve learned that the most compassionate response we can give someone who’s not okay is, “That must be really difficult.” That, plus a hug. It doesn’t resolve their question or relieve their fear, but it reminds them we’re in this together. It removes the sense of shame we feel when we struggle in secret, and it removes the facade of needing to pretend we have the simple answer to really complex issues. Just enter into the ambiguity of the hurting people around you. Admit that you don’t know what they’re feeling, but you do know that you’re with them. They’re not looking for a quick answer. They need a good friend. No one is going to believe any of our answers if we don’t let them know that we have a couple of questions, too.
