When You Don’t Know What to Say, Let Us Help

A double rainbow at Old Orchard Beach, bringing hope, wonder, and calm to anyone who receives it.

The Message Sanctuary

Knowing what to say to someone suffering can be hard—we get it. We have stared at the blank page and struggled to find the words ourselves. Silence is often the heaviest part of a struggle. Whether you are fighting an invisible battle or standing as the anchor for someone you love, finding the right words to stay connected can feel impossible when the weight is heavy.

We created this library to help you break that silence. Below, you’ll find messages crafted for the Warriors in the medical wilderness and the Anchors holding the line. Use them as they are, or let them be the spark for your own note.

Messages to Send to Someone Suffering

Do you see someone struggling to get through the day? Someone dealing with chronic pain, a difficult medical condition, depression, anxiety, or PTSD? You want to reach out but don’t know what to say. Use the messages below as they are, or modify them to make them your own. Simply copy and paste them into our eCards or a direct message to show them you’re standing with them.

Thank you for holding the line.

I see your fight. It matters.

Rest is not a weakness; it’s a tactic.

Focus on the next five minutes, not the next five months.

Still here. Still fighting. Still proud of you.

Your worth is not defined by your productivity.

One breath at a time. I’ve got your six.

You don’t have to be ‘strong’ today. Just be.

Don’t let the hard days win.

You are enough.

You don’t have to carry this perfectly. You just have to carry it. I’m right here with you.

The wilderness is loud, but your resilience is louder. Keep going.

Why We Created This Library

As veterans and survivors of the “medical wilderness,” we know that sometimes the brain just shuts down under pressure. We wanted to remove the barrier between needing support and asking for it. These words aren’t just templates; they are the phrases that helped us survive our own darkest hours.
