Advice

Hearing sobs over the phone and the hiccups in between, I race to find any comforting words that would ease the pain.

I don't know what I can say or do to make it all better. Can I even make it all better for you?

Your confusion, desolation and desperation relays back to me and I struggle to find any comforting words because I know there is only so much that I can do.

Put myself in your shoes and all I would want is wail and hate the world, no words could offer me comfort, at least no at that state.

Are you the same?

I hope I said what you wanted to hear but most of all, I wished I had been the ear you needed.
