For Loved Ones

If someone you care about is in pain — and you don’t know what to say — you’re not alone. This page is for you.

What You’re Feeling Is Valid

It’s terrifying to hear someone say they want to disappear. It’s heartbreaking to see someone you love pull away, shut down, or harm themselves. You may feel helpless. You may worry you’ll say the wrong thing.

But here’s the truth: you don’t have to fix everything. You just have to be with them. Even quiet presence matters more than you know.

What You Can Do

Let them talk — without interrupting, correcting, or panicking.
Say things like “I’m here,” “You’re not too much,” “You don’t have to go through this alone.”
Don’t pressure them to “cheer up,” explain, or make promises.
Offer to stay with them — physically or digitally — even if they don’t talk.
Ask if they want to text or call someone together. Offer options, not orders.

Things That Can Hurt (Even If You Mean Well)

“You have so much to live for.”

“You’re just being dramatic.”

“Other people have it worse.”

“But you seemed fine yesterday.”

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be kind — and willing to stay close.

You’re Not Alone Either
