Nobody Can Ever Understand Another's Pain
<p>Stop saying "I understand your pain". You can only imagine it. Even similar experiences are uniquely felt and no two experiences are the same.</p><p>We often throw around phrases like "I understand how you feel" but the truth is, we can't fully grasp the depth of someone's pain. Everyone's experience is unique, and comparisons can minimize their emotions. </p><p>Sometimes, in an attempt to show empathy, we end up sharing our own stories, dominating the conversation, and taking the spotlight off the one who's hurting. Your role was to be present and actively listen so as to ease the grieving process. How did the one hurting end up listening to you?</p><p> Put down your own experiences and pick up the pieces of theirs. Provide a safe space by validating their feelings without comparing, just be present and listen. </p><p>Your experience is valid but not at that moment. We must know when to share our experiences. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
