Sometimes the kindest thing you can give someone is not advice, money, or answers, but a moment in which they do not have to pretend they are okay. You may never know how much lighter you made their day simply by listening, noticing, or staying.

The most profound support we can offer someone is not a blueprint out of their darkness, but the willingness to sit there with them until they remember how to find their own light.

Sympathy is not about having the answers; it is just the quiet choice to sit in the dark with someone so they do not have to look at the shadows alone.
