Bridging.

How do you tell someone who has just ended a marriage which lasted for longer than you've even existed that it's going to be okay? As much as I love my job, it's difficult tasks like these that make me appreciate it even more. Although I wish I was more qualified-- by training or by life experience, to dole out better advice and guidance, I am glad that I'm able to even provide the slightest support that I can offer to these people who are struggling to just live life.

Problems are all relative. It all hurts the same. Something doesn't hurt less depending on how old or young you are, the amount of money you have in your bank account, or where you live in the world. Getting hurt is unavoidable in this life and it's never easy feeling helpless in the face of trying to ease someone's pain.
