Why Sitting With Someone Matters More Than What You Say:

There are moments in life when words fail us.

When someone we love is hurting, grieving, overwhelmed, or just tired of carrying everything alone…
we feel the pressure to say something wise, something healing, something perfect.

But with age, you learn something softer—
something more powerful than any speech you could ever give:

Sometimes, the greatest gift you can offer
is simply sitting beside someone.

Not fixing.
Not advising.
Not trying to shape the moment into something easier.

Just being there.

There is a kind of love that doesn’t need language.

A kind of comfort that comes from knowing you don’t have to perform
or pretend,
or be “strong” for anyone.

Just your presence—
your quiet company—
is enough.

Because when life gets heavy,
most people aren’t looking for someone who knows all the right words.

They’re looking for someone who won’t leave.

Someone who will sit beside them
in the storm,
in the silence,
in the uncertainty,
in the moment where everything feels too big.

Someone who won’t rush them, judge them, or minimize their pain.

Someone who will say, without speaking:

“You don’t have to go through this alone.”

So the next time someone you love is struggling,
remember:

They don’t need perfect words.
They don’t need flawless advice.
They don’t need you to be extraordinary.

They just need you there.

Because presence says what words never can:
“I choose you, even in the hard moments.”

And sometimes,
that’s the most powerful thing
you’ll ever say without speaking.

If there were visiting hours in heaven,
I would sit beside you, holding your hand,
I would ask you so many questions,
In the need to truly understand.

What is it like there in heaven?
And do you still think of us on earth, below?
Do you spend time with other angels?
Have you met souls you already know?

Just to have some answers,
Would help to mend my broken heart,
Because now I'm just left wondering
Why we have to be apart.

I guess God had a plan in mind,
The reasons he could not share,
But things will all make sense one day,
When I finally meet you there.

So for now I will live with my questions,
And hold your memory with me each day,
Knowing that when we meet again,
We will have so much to say ...

Some people are preparing to spend the first holidays without a loved one.

And while everyone else is decorating trees and planning dinners,
they’re quietly trying to figure out how to make it through a season that suddenly feels different.

Grief hits harder this time of year.
The songs feel heavier.
The memories feel sharper.
The silence feels louder.

So if this season doesn’t feel magical for you, that’s okay.
You don’t have to force joy.
You don’t have to pretend you’re fine.
You’re allowed to feel it all…the love, the loss, the longing.

And if your world is still full of the people you love?

Cherish them.
Say the thing.
Give the hug.
Take the picture.

Because someone out there is wishing for just one more holiday with their person.
