The best thing we can do is simply listen. Let them express their feelings. Giving advice without truly understanding their pain can feel insensitive, almost like adding to their burden. Instead of trying to fix their pain, just being there and listening is what they really need.

So, what should we do? We should just listen quietly. If we’ve been through something similar, we can share that to show understanding, but it’s more important to let them talk and express their emotions. Sometimes, pain doesn’t have a quick solution. It needs time to heal, and we should give them that time and space to feel better on their own. Just being there can be the best support.
