It's difficult to watch loved ones going through a trying time in their life. Although we're not exactly sure what to do, it's a natural response to jump in and try to help. We want them to feel better, so we say nurturing words to ease their pain. Even though we have the best of intentions, they may not need what we are scrambling to provide them. If we took a moment to pause instead of reacting instinctively, we would realize that those we love need to process what they are going through by themselves. But it is so difficult to stand by, watching them flounder. We are natural caregivers and want to give direction, but there is an understanding deep inside that there is growth during the most painful periods of our life. We need to remember that this to shall pass. Today, support those that you love. Let them know that you are there for them if they need help. Encourage them to do what is best for them for they are loved. Know that whatever happens, nothing stays the same. They will move on to where they are meant to be and this moment will only then be just a memory.
Let's be happy again...
