I've been fortunate enough to not have experienced too much loss at this stage in my life. But watching someone I love experience possibly one of the biggest losses of life, and way too early at that, has been difficult to say the least.
I know there's nothing I can to to 'fix' the situation. I know all they want of me is comfort and support and I am trying to provide it to them. But other than be there while they sob and trying my best not to empathy cry with them... I have no idea what I can do.
It's such a weird conflict of emotions. I obviously am not here to whine this isn't that big of a problem for me - they're the ones that are experiencing this deep grief. But watching someone you care so much about suffer so, and wanting but knowing you cannot relieve their pain is a powerlessness I am finding difficult to sit with.
I'm such a solution-suggester, advice-giver - and therefore frankly a terrible listener - that I just feel completely unequipped.
Anyways, that's all I have had on my mind in the last two weeks so that's the 2-week blog update. Kind of a bummer I know.
