I am terrified of saying the wrong thing and adding to someone's pain. It's so much easier in person to sit with someone or give them hug. Virtual hugs are just not the same. I have found that the best thing to do is listen. I've become a good listener. I would love to be a compassionate listener if you want to talk.
