You know what is really difficult about this journey, is the empathy I now have for others on similar paths. I woke up this morning to a tough message from a friend letting me know that they got unfortunate news yesterday. I am not sure exactly what that means, but I do know that I am sure they are heartbroken. We have all been there on our rollercoaster, too. Several times.
My heart aches for them. There is nothing I can do to ease their pain or tell them to keep fucking going or that it will all be okay. I've said this many times as I grieve with those around me, but sometimes I would rather deal with the pain and let them experience the joy. I know I can handle it and it hurts me knowing what they're experiencing and that there is nothing I can do or say to make it better. While this image is something I created years ago, I feel it is very relevant in this situation, too.
