What can we tell someone when they are in pain?
The first thing to tell them
is that they are loved,
not by some impersonal or invisible being,
but by you standing with them.
The doorway to any truth
is the one labeled 'LOVE'.
When that can be heard,
then the vaster reaches of Love can be believed.
When human addresses human,
there is a tendency to believe the person
rather than the philosophy.
That is quite appropriate,
because the suffering takes place
within the personal experience,
so it must be within that area
that one first reaches for solace.
If one could leap to boarder understanding
and announce 'I know I am an Angel, there would be no suffering,
just another point of interest on the journey.
The most important thing anyone can say
from an open heart
is 'I am here and I love you.'
This is not meant
to blanket someone else's experience,
but to be with them in their pain.
