When Someone You Love Was Hurting and You Had No Idea

One of the hardest things to sit with is finding out how much somebody you care about was hurting and realizing you had no idea.

You wish they’d had the words to tell you. You wish you’d known what to ask. And sometimes you carry those wishes around so long they start to feel like blame.

If that’s where you are, give yourself some grace. You can care deeply about somebody and still miss what they’re going through. And you deserve some care while you’re trying to make sense of it, too.
