The power of a kind ear to listen

I am amazed how much impact the simple act as taking the time to listen  to another can have on the healing process. It works for all types of healing and can be good for both people in the conversation. I am finding the more I listen to other and the more I share my story the stronger I feel. I know that no matter how much time has passed or how much I have moved on, I will always have a special place in my heart for each loss I have experienced.
So often when we hear that a friend or family member has experienced a loss, most don't know what to say. Sometimes the best thing to say is I am here if you need  me or say nothing at all, simply listen. When I first found we had lost a pregnancy, I know that I needed alot of people to just listen. Then as I moved further in my grieving I appreciated and found it helpful to hear the stories of others, knowing that I was not alone. Now I feel it is healing for me to share my story when needed, listen when required and just be available to all who could use a kind ear to listen.

This is dedicated to a family member who just experienced her own loss.
