I am Here

Hello my friend,

Know that you are not alone. Close your eyes and know that my arm is around you. I am right beside you. Just breathe. Slowly. Slowly.

You are stronger than you think.  You are more than this moment in time.  This moment will pass.  My arm around you is warm and safe.  Just breathe.

I have not left.  I'm still here.  Just breathe.

When you're ready, look up, get up and do something. Even something small. Go for a walk or wash up the dishes.  Sit on the grass (unless it's raining) and look at the sky.  Hold a door open for someone.

Know that the moment has passed and you have achieved something.  You are valuable.  You are not alone anymore.  I'm still here and together we'll breathe in and out. We'll feel better than we did because we're not alone anymore.
