Sometimes things happen that are really hard for the fixers in the bunch. It’s what we do, the momma bears, we take action. But there are times when it just is. And all we can do is share the moment – share the pain.
Our loved one doesn’t have to “grin and bear it.” Instead, we embrace and share it. Embrace- a fierce hug that says I’m here, I’m not letting go anytime soon, so you let it out and I’ll share the pain.
In the words of John Lennon,
“When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness,
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.”
Be still. Be in the moment. Be the comfort. Just be.
