Part 3/9:
Support from others who have experienced similar pain is critical. The act of listening and empathy provides a foundation for healing, reminding sufferers that they are not alone. The presence of someone who understands the depth of grief can be a cathartic and healing force.
Similarly, for those offering support, the emphasis is on being present without trying to fix or philosophize. Tragedies are inherently beyond intellectual explanation; they are felt deeply in the emotional and spiritual realms. Thus, offering compassionate companionship is often more impactful than providing solutions or rationalizations.
