i really need some advice guys.
what do you do when the one person that means the most to you in the world right now is going through something so terrible and there's nothing you can do to help? there's nothing you can say, nothing you can do, nothing that you can give them that will make it better?
i try to be there for him, but it's so hard, because everything i say sounds cheesy, contrite and overused. but i don't know what else to say. i give him a hug, and i feel cheesy, i tell him i'm there for him, and i feel retarded. i know he appreciates it, he says he does, i am the only one outside of his family right now that knows, not even his roommates. i should feel lucky and happy that he trusts me so much. but why do i feel like i would have been better off not knowing??
i just don't know what to do. any advice??
