Instead of...
If you've ever found yourself searching for the "right thing" to say, you're not alone. We've listed a few thoughtful shifts in language that can make a world of difference.
Instead of saying - "I know how it feels"
Try- "I can't imagine your heartbreak"
Instead of saying - "You're strong, you'll get through this"
Try - "It will hurt, and I will be here"
Instead of saying - "Healing takes time"
Try - "Healing doesn't have a timeline"
And when there are no words? You don't have to find any.
Silence can speak volumes, with a hand on a shoulder, a quiet presence in the room, or a thoughtful leolam gift that connects and acknowledges.
Love also speaks in silence.
