unqualified

Sigh. Did you ever have someone close to you go through something so horrible, that you couldn't even imagine what they must be feeling? And then, that person asks you, point blank, for your advice? And you feel totally unqualified to offer up anything?

That's how I feel today.

I cried for this person. Literally cried. In front of my children. What she is dealing with is so incomprehensible to me. I am overwhelmed by the fact that she asked me for help and advice. I am flattered that she trusts me with such details of her life. I so... want to do right by her and offer up something profound and life altering. But I simply don't have that knowledge. I'll do my best. I'll be supportive. Hopefully, that is enough.

Today is a bad day.
