How do you know what to say to people going through terrible things?

One of the worst lessons of life is that things can get so much worse than you ever thought was possible.

Whatever your limit is, life will push you past it.

You wake up and you can’t fucking believe it. Everything is different.

When someone is at that moment, what do you say to them?

Life can get so much worse than you are ready for.

But actually you can handle it.

You get by.

Eventually things level out.

But at that first surprising terrible moment, how can you convince someone of that?
