Things to Say to a Person that is Hurting
Hannah Dmyterko

I adore you

I cherish who you are, even in your suffering. You inspire me in so many ways, and just your presence is enough for me. God knew what He was doing when He created you. I admire you.

I’m invested in you

I’m willing to give whatever you need. Whether it be time, money, or just listening ears, I’m all in. I will not leave you stranded.

I hurt for you

My heart breaks for you. Because of your value and worth to me, I feel the weight of your pains on my shoulders.

I will keep your secrets safe

The deepest and darkest places of your heart are valuable to me. I will never uncover them. I want you to confide in me, knowing my loyalty to you.

You are strong

In fact, you’re the strongest person I know. You hold your own, and you can do this. It’s okay that you are allowing the sting of pain to touch you. Just know a sting isn’t going to break you. You’re so much stronger than that.

A place in my heart is yours

You mean so much to me, and I will forever be in your corner.

I’ll love you through it

I won’t let you go. Nothing you do can make me love you less.

You will never walk alone

I promise the loneliness that you feel is a lie. I will hold you when you cannot hold yourself. Hold my hand; you’ll see how firm my grasp is.

Your life is valuable

I hope you know your beauty and worth. I hope that in this darkness, you see all your light. Your life is so precious.

I support you

I’m your biggest fan. I will not fear giving you my opinion, but even more so, I will not fear showing faithfulness to you.

I’m praying for you

I know that we are not capable of controlling anything, so I’m pleading that the One who is, heals your heart and restores your soul. He has so much love and care for you. I am praying you find comfort in Him.

I thank God for you

I praise Him for giving me you. Your life brings me joy. In your affliction, I still praise Him for a person as original as you. You are such a blessing.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
