“I JUST CAN’T HANDLE THIS!”
When things go wrong, they seem to all go wrong at the same time.
For some people, it feels like their entire world is falling apart all around them.
From the moment of my accident last year, I vividly remember thinking ‘my God, what am I going to do’?
The overwhelming disbelief, for some maybe pain, numbness, feeling lost, inability to think, even having trouble catching your breath.
When you are the one going through a sudden life change, the devastation is overwhelming.
Truthfully, emotionally there’s not a whole lot you can do for someone going through it except to stand by them.
Just be there with them.
You don’t even need to say anything, just be there, be present.
That is honestly the very best you can do, because frankly there’s nothing you can say that will help.
Just Be There…
If YOU are the one going through issues that have overwhelmed you, I want you especially to keep reading.
This is very short, but the most important few thoughts I could ever give you.
Remember, I have myself recovered from a devastating life changing event.
But, I had to dig deep to pull these thoughts out.
These came from someone very special, that shared them with me at a time when I was in a very dark place.

Believe in yourself.
Strengthen your mind.
Rely on your faith.
Open up your heart to others.
Put your hand out to help someone else.

That woke me up & realize there are others worse off than I am.
Sometimes the best way to heal, is to help others help themselves.
There’s always something or someone going through worse things than what you are going through.
It may not seem like it at the time.
However, I promise you, there are so many others going through their own hell & you are not the only one suffering.
Comforting someone during their traumatic times, will not only help them but it will make your heart smile.

Insightful and perfectly accurate Linda. If we are able to set aside our own troubles to at least some small degree and make ourselves available to help others we find there is no shortage of people going through very much worse situations than our own.
Awesome Post Linda, sometimes when you face life its real a matter of time when you will encounter a road block, and best way to overcome whatever comes in your way is Be kind, as along the way everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Joe, you’re a very wise man. I think you’ve ‘been there done that’ a few times! I appreciate your thoughts Joe.
This is so true Linda. I too know from my own experiences and also from others I know. Such good advice. Thank you for sharing.
My dad always said to me when I was a small child, if you think your troubles are bad, write them down on a piece of paper, and together we will go and put them into the well. In the well is everyone else’s problems, when you put yours in, you have to take another piece of paper out, and their problems become yours, should we go and do that? Needless to say I never wrote my problem down on a piece of paper to swap with anyone else, because I was always scared of what their problems would be. Lesson learned.
WOW, Rhonda, I hadn’t heard that analogy before quite that way. You were very smart though even as a young girl, there is always someone else with problems much worse than your own. Thank you for sharing that Rhonda.
Best advice ever … “Just Be There”. And how right you are … no matter how bad things are for us, there is always going to be someone hurting that much more. It’s powerful to remember that and thank you for the reminder.
After my accident & coming across your videos, your words brought back those memories to me. My parents were the ones to instill those thoughts to me & until my accident, they served me well. Once you got my mind back in order, I was able to pull out those words & once again live by them. Thank you for Saving my Life, my friend!
Great advice Linda “Just be there” Think most of us keep giving advice or support or critiquing, not really knowing what is happening inside that person and how deeply frustrating they have had. “Just being there” is all it takes to know that they know you are there for them.
Being alone during what ever your world is spinning into, is very frightening & overwhelming. Just having someone by your side is so comforting to know you aren’t alone. Thank you Dave for sharing.
