It pains me so bad to see people I love get hurt. What is even more painful is the fact that much as I would like to take their pain away, all I could do is listen and offer moral support.
One of the most important women in my life is confronted with marital issues. She managed to keep everything to herself for almost a decade thinking and believing that things would eventually be alright. Regrettably, things have become worse and are even turning worst as she recently shared.
I admire her for having so much love to give. I hate her for not loving herself enough to allow such things to happen. I resent the fact that without restraint, she gave up the life she used to enjoy for the man she married. She gave up the life, which made her who she really is. She even let relationships with good friends die out.
It was such a shock for me to see her fall apart. My heart literally ached as I listened to her share the emotions she had kept to herself for so long. I truly wish I could crush her pain away, but I can't. So I pray and I pray hard for the Lord to help her heal her wounds fast.
As I reflect on all that I've heard, I could not help but ask myself what I did to deserve all that I have....

More often than not, a listening ear (coupled with a sincerely concerned heart at that) is all a hurting person needs in beginning the healing process.
Thanks, Marielle! I really miss those times when you ladies were just a few feet away. :-)
