"I can't imagine." To most it sounds like words that should be comforting, right? Wrong.
After many days and weeks of pondering, I no longer find "I can't imagine," an appropriate term. We can imagine, ANYTHING, if we try hard enough. That's what imagination is for. But...there are many things we don't want to imagine. And that is really okay. Who wants to imagine all the horrible things that happen to people, like their child dying.
So, instead of saying, "I can't imagine," maybe for a brief moment try. And then, if it hurts too much, just say, "I don't want to imagine."
