Some people are afraid to interact with people who are in pain because they feel like they don’t know what to say or do. But often people do not need to say or do anything. They just need to be willing to listen. I am forever grateful to those who have opened up their hands, arms, and homes to me, creating spaces where all of me is welcome, including my pain. I am forever grateful to those who have simply listened, without judgement, without feeling the need to fix the situation, and without commenting anything more than perhaps agreeing that what I am going through is in fact very difficult. It is these people who have helped me carry my pain, allowing me to feel lighter for a few moments, and not so alone. It is these people who help me keep walking forward.
Jenifer — God has gifted you with the ability to express your feelings in such a way to bless those in like circumstances as well as to teach those who do not identify with such pain. I pray that He will use your words to bless many people and bring glory to our Savior.
