So if we can't fix something, at least we can try to explain it. The powerlessness of being with someone in times of trouble is really scary, but oh, so necessary. I'm glad we're friends, Jayne!

You're not afraid of the truth. Not only is it a silly (and untrue) space filler that's used when we are uncomfortable, but it is hurtful. The friend in need has not only been hit with awful luck, but they then get dismissed by people who, in stead, should be feeling some empathy and giving support. Even if there is nothing else to be done but to commiserate, it is better than to be dismissed. This is why we are friends, Barb. You’re not afraid of the truth.
