When my soul bleeds, it bleeds as a prism.

There is a lot of joy in life just hard sometimes to know what to say to others when they have faced so much loss.

Ouch!
It's like an electric fence, once you grab it, it's hard to let go of it.
And the same too, in that all one need do is let go of it to be freed.
SHANTI

Even tho I have been thru a lot , I still do not know what to tell people going thru it either. Other than time heals, and every day will get better.

"Loss", is not our future.

I guess I am not understanding where you are coming from? Loss is part of living and part of all our our lives at least in my opinion.

You are so empathetic thank you. Sometimes this it the only way to express it for me and really it's a subjective view of the world as it's my words and experience at a particular moment in time. Although I hope that others can relate to parts or it if not the whole. Sometimes emotions are so thick in us that it is hard to get them out. Can feel them wanting to create words to express them but alas they are intangible lol.

I have a cousin that owns a funeral home. I asked him once what do you say to people who are suffering such grief? He told me that being in the business for over 40 years he still doesn't know the magic words to say to alleviate such sorrow.
I think you just have to be there for people. Sometimes words aren't necessary, but the comfort of knowing someone is there for you makes a world of difference.

I understand that, and have a lot of trouble expressing what I feel often especially when It all becomes overwhelming. When I used to get upset ,I gave the usual I don't no, or nothing response. Well that isn't good to do either. So now I give a short explanation so the other person isn't hurt by that and then I work it out for myself. Cause the number one person that understands you and knows what you feel and can get you thru it all is Yourself.

That is so true and yet at the same time when writing it's an attempt to break out of ourselves and see from the comments and reactions of the readers how they are interpreting what you are putting out there. What is their take on it? Have they been in the situation? As you pointed out you have something you say realizing that's all you can do.

It depends on how much emotional time we spend on "loss". We can't go back.

True we go forward and our past makes us who we are. Sharing our experiences and being able to relate to others even as it relates to those sad things doesn't not mean that we live in that sad place just that we can empathize with others. Hopefully to be someone for them to talk to as they move forward.

I could be wrong, but I'm going to take a shot in the dark, I believe he is saying that lost should be emotional left in the past and that the future is full of so much more.

Thanks for the clarification that's what I got out of that also.

Sometimes it's as simple as just listening to someone else.
For the last couple of weeks I've had my neighbour over a number of times. Him and his girlfriend have split and gotten back together a few times, and they've finally split for good. Over this period of time he's had thoughts of suicide and has gone to the extent of writing a note several times, as well as making preparations.
Thankfully he keeps finding a reason not to do it. One was his son showing up as he was contemplating in the basement and finding the note on the kitchen table, and then finding his dad.
Funny thing about life, it's not permanent. Why make it any more miserable or shorter than it has to be.
There's always tomorrow, and hopefully it's brighter than today...if not, there's always the next day.
