Do you ever feel like some days not only should you not get out of bed but you certainly shouldn’t talk. When nothing you say comes out right and only seems to make things worse then they already are.
Usually on these kind of days, hiding under a rock seems like a better alternative to work, family, friends… life really.
No matter what your good intentions, sometimes things just go wrong. And you can’t do anything about it. No amount of wishing and hoping and trying can make things better.
I hate it when people I love are hurting and I can’t fix it.

Worst feeling ever.
Sometimes all you can do is stand back and let them shatter, then try to be there for them to help pick up the pieces...
It's tough knowing that you cannot wave a magic wand and make all the hurt go away. Or work really hard and be really busy and fix it, since that is what our society tells us is possible. This is both from the perspective of the person who has experienced the hurt and a person who is watching people she loves deal with their hurts. In someways time is the only answer and that can be very hard.
Ob is correct, sometimes the shattering needs to happen, and then something more wonderful and special comes from it. It's hard to see at the time, but it's there.
I know it's cliched but just being there, being supportive, listening to what that person needs and reminding them that thay are loved makes a huge difference. Sometimes it's hard to remember that last part when you are in the middle of it, and even simple text messages from friends can make all the difference (thank you again for the ones you've sent me)
Sucks doesn't it
Thanks guys. Needed that!
