Through the heartbreak and the pain.
We have all endured a form of pain or suffering, whether it’s from a failed relationship, family issues, or death, and having someone there to lean on during those times is a blessing.
In most cases, some individuals try to weather this storm alone and tend to push the people they love away as they try to cope and understand. It’s nothing personal; it’s just their way of trying to wrap their minds around their new normal.
In this piece, I wrote about wanting to be there for a loved one in their time of need, but they don’t know how to ask for help or want your support. It can be hard to accept, but we should respect their wishes. People have their way of grieving, and we must respect their decisions. However, you can let them know that you will be there if they need a listening ear or a shoulder to lean on.

I would like to walk with you through the rain,
I want to hold you close as you fight through this pain.
I want to bring a smile to your face,
As I watch the tears cascade down your face.
I am sorry my words can’t bring you comfort as you grapple with the loss,
I wish I could turn back the hands of time so that you could have said goodbye, knowing you will live with that regret for the rest of your life.
You are always so strong for others in their time of need,
Now, it seems you are alone because you refuse to let me and others be your shoulder to lean on.
Why try to carry this weight alone?
You don’t have to battle this by yourself, but since you assist in pushing all of us away,
I will respect it and give you your space.
Please know that I am only a phone call away if you decide to let me in.
For I know firsthand how grief likes to isolate you
I don’t want you to fight this by yourself, but I will honor your wishes as I cover you in prayer.
Finding the light once darkness has come can be tough, but I know you will find the strength to overcome.
I am rooting for you, my love, and note that I will be there for you no matter the time of day.
