It can be frustrating to want to help someone and not know what to do or say. Sometimes when words fail, My Beloved and I just hug each other tightly for as long as it takes, letting the hug do all the talking. It is amazing how much love can be conveyed, and how much healing can occur, by a simple, patient, firm, wordless, hug.
With Love,
Russ

About russtowne
I'm awed by the beauty of nature and the power of love and gratitude. Some of my favorite sensory experiences include waves crashing on rocky shores, waterways in ancient redwood and fern-filled forests, and rain. My wife and I have been married since 1979. We have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I manage a wealth management firm that I founded in 2003. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders. I'm a published author of approximately 60 books in a variety of genres for grownups and children.

That’s what I miss the most about being single: reassuring hugs. I should hug myself haha!
Perhaps some of your friends could provide the hugs. I hear Teddy Bears can help too! ;-D! May you get all the helpful, healing, loving hugs you want and need, my friend!

Beautiful reminder Russ. It’s so true, hugs can often convey what words cannot.
Blessings, Gina
Thank you for your kind comment and blessings, Gina. Big hugs and best wishes to you!
Russ
You are so right Russ… but it is something we do far too little of…
There is an easy solution to that when Linda is around. ;-D! Happy huggin’!

Russ, that is me , I often do not have the right words, and for me hugging gives me and the other person often more than words. I am like Diana, missing hugs sometimes, even though my sons still give me hugs luckily.
Giving you a big cyber hug Russ!
A big cyber hug back to you, my friend! Thank you for your kind comment.

Hugs are powerful medicine, Russ. You’re absolutely right. One can often express everything that needs to be “said” with just this simple act….
I agree; silence can be incredibly eloquent. Thank you for your kind feedback, Lori.

A hug can connect 2 people the way words fail. You are so right Russ! Bet you are a great hugger to your beloved. 🙂
Well if I’m not, it ain’t from lack of trying! ;-D! Thank you for your kind comment, Misifusa.
