What Do You Need In This Moment?

I need someone to sit with me and hold my hand as I grieve. This time not for myself but for someone in my family. I can't say the words. I'm too hypervigilant to say it.

I need to rest. I've been doing too much and I'm tired and my back and neck and hip hurt. The nerve pain hurts a lot.

I need to be heard.

I am so deeply sorry to hear about your precious daughter's sexual abuse.

Having been sexually abused at age 16 and my mom not believing me and further physically and verbally abusing me, I'd just like to add (in my own HUMBLE words) that sometimes just listening to your daughter talk about it without saying a word, but just being there, or listening to her rage for no particular reason, and reassuring her that she is worthy of all the love in the world, or even just giving her a hug and telling her you love her and she most definitely did nothing wrong at all . . . just never give up and always believe her when she talks about her abuse and let her know she is worthy of all the love, care, respect, joy, happiness, friends, fun in the world and to never settle for less.
