What to say when someone you love is going through a hard time
When someone you love is going through a hard season in life, you might not know what to say to them.
All you want to do is make them feel better and fix whatever is causing them pain — unfortunately, many of life's hardest seasons involve something that cannot be fixed.
Here's one sentence you can use in these moments: "No matter what happens, I'll be right there next to you."
This sentence is so powerful. It can remind them that they're not alone now, and that they won't have to be alone in the future. (Challenges are not as overwhelming when they’re faced together.) These simple words can give them the courage to keep putting one foot in front of the other, knowing that you are right there next to them.
