Sharing hurt is a real bond, necessary at times. So is taking the hurt for someone else, so that they can heal. Awful tragedies can happen in life – and when they happen to someone you love, you hurt with them. You let them pass their hurt to you, because that’s what it means to love them. You carry it farther away from them, release it where it doesn’t harm them further, like a wild animal far from civilization. Then you return to carry more.
