Have you ever wished you could give all your happiness to someone who seem to deserve it more than you do? I wish for that this very present. My eyes have been over worked from days of crying and staring into the screen in search of some form of written comfort. It is not me who is suffering, but one of my close friends who very recently lost his mother. I wish I knew exactly how to help, I wish I could take away the pain from his and his family's heavy hearts. They will never be the same, and I feel so much for them, it hurts me too.
I am just an outsider.
What is this I feel in my heart?
it is deep compassion that you are experiencing, and being able to feel it is a gift, even though it can be terrible at times. show your friend that you understand and that you are there for them if they need you. no matter how sad this sounds, but sometimes, we have to admit that we can only do so much because we are merely human.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it feels like I'm carrying unnecessary baggage for feeling too much and yet, yes I can see how having a deep compassion for others is a gift. I just feel like, I don't know how to handle it and I've often wish I feel nothing at all. Nonetheless, Thank you, Caro, for the comforting comment. :)
