I see you.
quit saying “I know what you are going thru” or “I get how you feel”. reality check. you will never absolutely positively understand another person’s situation. you never know the whole story. empathy > sympathy. empathy brings us together. sympathy drives us apart, putting an unnecessary spotlight on how different & distant we all our in the most vulnerable of times. instead try “I have not been in your situation, so I cannot pretend to know what you are going thru. but i love you, I see you, I am here for you & I know how hard you are fighting”
