Lillie said, " I'd like him to put his arms around me and just say, "I'm sorry you're sad about this. I understand." PERIOD. END OF CONVERSATION. So I kept the whole thing to myself."
That entire thread was "right on" and the last sentence is where women's hurt comes in. Add to it the personality that is "self", that is, if you have a sad event some just go off by themselves and dont understand the power of touch or hug to delute the sorrow.
Lillie, you're very astute in your ppl studies!
Pity me that the heart is slow to learn
What the swift mind beholds at every turn.
