If you had surgery and you’ve never felt the same afterwards… always in pain, never being able to eat or sleep and seriously believing you were going to die but didn’t want to, what would you want to hear from your friends and family? Or if you had a friend potentially dying of something they don’t know about and they really didn’t want to die, what do you say to them? What do you talk to them about? I want to save my friend but I feel like I’m failing.

Maybe a starting point is to admit that you’re at a loss for words, but that you care. Sometimes we are powerless to help, life is not something we completely control. There isn’t always something we can do to change that, but what is it that we all want? Yeah. Attention, love, companionship. Accepting that all beings suffer isn’t easy, accepting that all beings die is even more difficult, but a few moments of genuine caring can make a big difference. It doesn’t necessarily need to be accompanied by “the right words.”
