It's Not OK

Death can steal loved ones.

Spouses and life partners can leave. 

One can get an incurable illness.

One can lose their job that

 they have devoted their life to.

One can learn their child is severely disabled

One can lose their home.

One can lose their ability to walk,

and on and on the worst can happen
things that can change our lives forever.

So let's stop saying

things will be OK

when those things happen.

It's not OK.

So instead say "you can lean on me"

or "I'm here for you" or

"I'll pray for you," and mean it.

But please don't say things will be OK.
