I've Come To Help You Cry

Unknown

I look back with regret to the times in my life

when I failed to reach out to those in need

simply because I didn't know what to do or say.



If I could do it over... ...

I would go immediately to the home

of the newly bereaved family ...

I would hug and I would listen with my heart ...

I would offer no answers ...

I would be quiet support, lessen the confusion,

no matter how simple the job ...

I would not forget the family as the days and weeks passed ...

I would call ...

I would stop by from time to time

with a small something to say I care ...

I would offer to help out in small ways to

simplify a life filled with confusion ...

I would offer help to the children

whose grief is so often forgotten ...

I would speak of the deceased openly,

remembering the joy, the life ...

I would welcome tears, for they are healing ...

I would listen without judging to

voiced guilts, anger, despair ...

I would remember when they need help the most,

they may not be able to ask ...

I would not assume that all was well

because I had not heard otherwise ...

I would accept and encourage the expression

of grief in its own way and time ...

I would open myself to the pain ...

I would share the sorrow ...





I would give them my arms and simple words,

I've come to help you cry ​

Wow!
That's inspiring. To be honest there are times that i too feel like suffering with someone. I believe that if they talk about their situations or have someone there their sorrows lessen, but most of all their hearts can be honest.
I'm not the most intellectual of people but if i can't tell someone as to how to solve their problems, i pray and tell them I know i can't heal their hearts but I can at leats be a shoulder to cry on.
I came here wanting more blessings and i ended up learning of a few things about my self and about others. thank tou for writing this down. You've helped me come back to the sensitivity i needed.
