“That sounds really hard.”
“I’m sorry you’re going through that.”
“Let me know what I can do to support you.”
Hold space for a spoon.
“I love you and I’m rooting for you. See you later.”
No advice. No suggestions. Walk away. Get on with your life. Continue on to the next task of the day. Think about the goals you have set for your life.
No, we’re not going to think about how depressed or sad the person that you love is. Because it’s not going to help them, or you. They have to heal their own wound, like you did yours. They have to break their own cycle. Like you did.
It’s time to move on to you.
