When someone we love is hurting, our instinct is often to fix it.
To offer advice. To point to the bright side. To make the pain go away.

But what if the comfort we actually need in hard seasons isn’t solutions — but presence?

In this tender conversation, Meghan and Maria reflect on the healing power of simply being with one another in suffering. They explore why silence, empathy, and shared tears can be more transformative than the right words — and how learning to “hold space” is both a human and deeply spiritual invitation.

If you’ve ever longed to feel seen in your pain — or wondered how to better love someone who is hurting — this episode is for you.
