Gentle Care
Taking care of them...
"Hey, it's okay. Show me?"
"What did they do to you?"
"Don't cry - I've got you."
"That's okay - get it all out."
"Deep breath, I have you."
"Sh, sh, I'm going to patch you up."
"I've got a bandage for you."
"This is going to sting, but we have to clean this."
"Oh - okay - we're hugging about this, okay."
"It'll all feel better in the morning."
"I can't believe someone would do this to you..."
"I'm going to protect you."
"Get some rest. I'm not going anywhere."
"You're safe now."
"I'm just going to wipe your face."
"When's the last time you cried like this?"
"There's nothing wrong with you, I promise."
"One day, you'll be okay. For now? It's okay to hurt."
"You want a hug?"
"I've got a blanket for you."
"Nice and cosy..."
"It's okay if you fall asleep."
"Just get some rest. You need it."
"Hey, I made you food."
"I know it's easy to forget to eat when you feel like this."
"You don't need to feel guilty."
"It wasn't your fault."
"Do you want a hot chocolate?"
"There's nothing better than a toasted marshmallow."
"Just hold onto me. There we go."
