"The ones who helped — the only ones who helped — were those who were simply there. "

"The last thing a person devastated by grief needs is advice. Inviting someone — anyone — into their world is an act of great risk. To try to fix, rationalize, or wash away their pain only deepens their terror. "

Being told, it's OK, don't think about it, it will go away, do something else, etcetera - I used to think it is fine but now that I think about it, it doesn't really help. It's like saying "Douse the fire! Douse the fire!" but you're just standing there pointing frantically and not doing anything.

"Be there. Only be there. Don't leave when you feel uncomfortable or when you feel like you're not doing anything. In fact, it's when you feel uncomfortable and like you're not doing anything that you must stay."

The writer understands it so well... Well, but I figured this part out already. 

"You are more needed than you will ever know."

And when you need me, I will be here, always. 

This post is dedicated for anyone that feels like this is dedicated to them!

And for me, I just need someone to be there with me, not for me. There is a difference.
