"When we are in great distress, sometimes we also become acutely sensitive to the distress of other people. Because just about everyone is wounded to some degree in some fashion, and the world is full of terrible things, it can seem as though grief is hailing down on us, unstoppable, and it’s hard to endure long enough to be of any help."
