We can't take away the suffering of others. What we can do is show up for them. And in doing so, take away the pain of having to suffer alone.
That’s lovely. At times too strong of a desire for life to be different than it is, can be a barrier to intimacy. Often the acceptance of what is and the willingness to show up as a companion versus a fixer actually brings us closer together. Sending you and your son big hugs.
