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 that 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.
