“How are you doing? You’ve been through more lately than anyone should have to, and you’re allowed to feel whatever it is you’re feeling.” “What can I do to help? It’s OK if you’re not sure right now, or if you just need to be alone. ” “I’m ready to listen any time you need.” “An awful thing happened to you and it’s OK if you’re not ready to talk about it just yet. I’m here for you whenever you need.” “I love you so much. I’m ready to help you in whatever way you need.” “If you have any feelings coming up about this, I’m here to talk to at any time.” “I know you’re feeling upset right now, and maybe confused, and maybe angry. You can talk to me about any of those things, or anything else. I’m here for you.”
