There is a twin paradox in being human. First, no one can live your life
for you—no one can face what is yours to face or feel what is yours to feel—and
no one can make it alone. Secondly, in living our one life, we are here to love
and lose. No one knows why. It is just so. If we commit to loving, we will
inevitably know loss and grief. If we try to avoid loss and grief, we will never
truly love. Yet powerfully and mysteriously, knowing both love and loss is what
brings us fully and deeply alive.

THE SECOND HALF OF THE SENTENCE
Why Words of Comfort Feel So Bad
It’s incredibly hard to watch someone you love in pain. Those who love
you tell you you’re strong enough to get through this. You’ll feel better
someday.
It won’t always be this bad. They encourage you to look to your much
brighter
future, to a time when you aren’t in so much pain.
