I can never think of anything. I'm sorry seems so useless. Sometimes words are not enough or make things worse.

Nobody knows what to say, but I know not saying anything says you don’t care, even when that’s not true. So I just muddle through as best I can. I know I can’t make it better, but at least they’ll know I wish I could.
