I observe the ones who stop and squeeze my hand and offer words of comfort.
I receive the calls and texts ongoing with kind words and prayers…
And I feel comforted.
And then I observe the ones that look at me, smile, and keep right on walking without a word. I observe others who do not call or text unless it is for their own personal gain.
And I feel sorry for them…as they lack empathy.
When we “feel empathy,” we are connected. When we cannot offer even one word of comfort in a crisis…there is a disconnect between our hearts and our presence.
Stay connected. Be present. Comfort one who is experiencing pain. Offer your time and a brief reprieve.
Herein lies empathy that may change the trajectory of one’s day.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
