Inhale.
All too often we forget to breathe at moments we should, especially then.
Long inhales followed by long exhales.
I just wish I could heal your pain for you.
I'd be holding your hand in silence for however long it takes.
I will tell you everything is going to be ok and mean it.
I will know that it's not at the wake and funeral that you need me most but months later when everyone has left and moved on with their lives even though you are still lost.
I will not answer the questions that aren't meant to have responses.
I will cry with you and hug you until you want me to let you go.
Hold on. Hang in. Breathe in. Breathe out.
And know you are loved.
