The gift of empathy and compassion. · It’s through our greatest losses and toughest struggles that we have the opportunity to develop empathy and compassion. · We endure hard times for that opportunity. And while those hard times bring great pain, it’s through that pain that we can offer more to those who endure it beside us. · Acknowledge that not everyone has had that opportunity. That doesn’t mean they won’t or can’t when the time is right in their journey. · Sharing empathy and compassion with others is one of life’s greatest gifts. Never forget that you have fought through the darkest of moments for that gift. · You’ve earned it.
