Quote by Sarah White, Our broken pieces

“A friend of yours?” I shake my head but then nod. “I don’t know. I think so.” I tip my head in the direction of the office next door. “It was the guy, Gabe, from the waiting room. He pulled me into the boys’ room so the girls wouldn’t see me cry. Then he helped to sneak me out the visitors’ gate so I wouldn’t have to go back to class.” Laura offers an empathetic smile. “What did it feel like to have someone care about your feelings?” “I think it helped. My mom and sister have been trying to comfort me, but sometimes that makes me feel worse. They worry so much about me and I feel like I need to reassure them I’m going to be okay. I can’t just let it out.” “With Gabe you can?” “I guess. He helped me and then he made me laugh.” I feel my cheeks burn a little with embarrassment”

“More than anything I know we need each other. We need community and connection. We need to show up, in real time and in flesh and bone, and love on each other. We need hands on hearts and someone to sleep next to us and hold us on the darkest nights. We need to dismantle the division and heal the wounds. We need to show our children a different way and create for them a different world. I know so much and I know so little. I don't actually know anything at all. And I know sometimes, it still won't be enough. I return again and again to my simple promise, my most important commitment: to stay with myself. To fight for my own return. To whisper, "I am here now. I will not leave you." And to mean it.”

“A listening ear can be more powerful than a hundred solutions. Sometimes, all we need is to feel heard. Sometimes, the best way to help someone isn't by fixing their problems. Not every problem needs a solution. It's not about offering solutions, it's about offering a safe space. The most comforting thing we can offer is not always a solution, but the validation that their feelings are real and worth acknowledging. You don't have to have all the answers.”

“You are loved… you are cared for… you have a friend here in me.”

“Tears are important, don't toss them away… they need to come out and have their say.”
