Just the other day, a girl from my group lost her mom to the grave. I caught her sobbing her heart out in the hallway, tears streaming like a damn river. Curious, I asked what the hell was wrong. She choked out that living without her mom was pure fucking torture, an unbearable void. Trying to lift her spirits, I wrapped her in a tight hug and whispered, "Hey, sweetheart, don’t drown in despair. You’ll be reunited with your mom before you know it..." Yeah, I’m a complete dumbass for saying that.
