Hello Friends,
"When You Say Nothing at All" is a country song written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz.
In times of trouble sometimes we don't know what to say or if we should say anything. This song is helpful because it alerts you to the possibility that maybe just being with someone is enough. Like Job in the Bible friends that just came to visit were important. Sometimes there just aren't the right words for the occasion. Lovers disagree and hurt each other and then they try to undo the damage only to make it worse.
I hold my wife when she cries because with aphasia she can not say why. Once in a while I figured it out two days ago she was holding a baby doll (dementia sufferers benefit from dolls sometimes). I managed to learn it was she missed holding a real baby. Most of the time I just hold her and keep quiet or say I love you and I will take care of you; Sometimes that is enough.
If your significant other is troubled maybe you can not fix it. Maybe it is enough to be there hold them and say little or nothing at all.
That is Love in action.
