TALK ABOUT IT, TALK ABOUT IT!

Talk about it, talk about it with me.

Together when you are ready, you can explore the pain with me.

I will listen as you turn the key, revealing the pain locked inside you.

When you are ready, I might gently ask the question, “How may I help?”

Talk about it, talk about it, if not to me, someone else.

Support is out there if you want to take it; together we can find it.

Hold on tight, don’t let go; you are so precious to us. 

Just because there is no bloody wound to see, I know you are suffering just as painfully.

Talk to me, talk to us, share your unthinkable, terrible pain.

Hold on, as with tiny, hesitant steps, together we slowly make small understanding gains.

Talk to me, as smiles and laughter slowly creep into our memory exchange.

Just keep on talking to me, or someone else.
