“Words fail me,” you may say when you hear unexpected news, and perhaps this is a good thing. What do others need most when they share troubling news with you? Your love, your presence. Yes, words can be calming, but they may prove inadequate or even troubling if your point of view differs from theirs. Lend a warm hand, a solid shoulder, a caring ear, and it is ok that words fail you, for words are a trifle compared to loving presence.

You are so very loved.
