To be in physical or emotional pain is one of the loneliest experiences on earth. And yet at that time when we need them most, many people flee from us. Some desert us because we have outlived our usefulness when we can no longer give them a fun time. Thankfully, there arent too many friends like that, but we imagine their numbers are more inflated because we confuse them with the next category: many shun us because they feel awkward. They would love to help but they are afraid they will say the wrong thing and add to our pain. On the other hand, people often find to their horror that the most agonizing aspect of a painful trial is the well-meaning remarks and advice of fellow Christians. Soul surgery can be as critical and delicate as brain surgery. A huge contributor both to Christians saying the wrong thing and fearing that they will do so is that we usually feel duty-bound to concoct words of wisdom or quote Scriptures. Rarely is that what a hurting person is hoping for. Its not your words they crave but your love. Taken from How to comfort the hurting Touch hearts! May be freely copied.
