6 Things To Say When Someone’s In Pain



Do you often struggle with things to say when someone’s in pain? Not knowing what to say is one of the universal challenges of being human, especially when it comes to heavy conversations. Talking with someone who is in pain can be even more difficult to navigate whether they reached out specifically for support or not. Sometimes emotions come up suddenly and you may find yourselves having a conversation neither of you expected. If you relate to this and need advice on how to comfort someone and what to say to them, check out this video!

Also, if you also want to learn about the things you should avoid saying to someone who is in pain or has depression, we also have a video on that: https://youtu.be/P5jyQ2ot_4M

Disclaimer: While none of these examples work for everyone, nor should they be used in place of professional advice, we hope they can guide supportive communication when it’s needed.
