What to Say to People Who are Struggling and Scared

A lot of people are dealing with really hard things right now.

It's hard to know how to help, what to do, or what to say.


One of my favorite quotes from times like these comes from Robin Williams, and it's great advice.


He said, "You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren't paying attention to."


That is true, isn't it?


My advice today: I know you're frustrated, worried, disappointed, and grieving. That's where you are right now. Remember that today is temporary. I know from my own experiences that what you had planned is not canceled. It's different and it's delayed. And it might be better than you imagined.


Writing this with love for all who are worried and sad right now.
