I don’t know how you feel; I am not you. I am not trying to co-opt your pain.  What I am trying to let you know is that I care about you, and I know what you are going through is rough. I may not have had the exact experience, but I have suffered enough to know that no one else really knows how you feel. Please know that you are loved. Know that you can take all the time you need to process these feelings. I am here now, and I will be here later. Reach out when you are ready. I can’t fix this for you, and I won’t try. I can cry with you, hold you, and try to make you laugh when you are ready. I care.
