Love this: "sometimes suffering with those who suffer is the only real thing you can do." When my sister was dying of an incurable, terminal disease, I came across an article about being with those who are suffering. It said something like you're saying to your suffering loved one, "I'm in your boat." This boat on stormy waters. I can't calm the waters, but I'm in your boat with you. Just being present, demonstrating that you care for them.
