When someone you love is going through a hard season in life, you might not know what to say to them.

All you want to do is make them feel better and fix whatever is causing them pain — unfortunately, many of life's hardest seasons involve pains that cannot be fixed.

Here's one sentence you can use in these moments: "No matter what happens, and no matter how you feel, I'll be right there next to you."

This sentence is so powerful. It reminds them that they're not alone now and that they won't be alone in the future. These simple words can give them the courage to keep putting one foot in front of the other, knowing that you will be there with them the whole way.
