Farstigaden

Im continually amazed that even though we have had thousands of years of civilization we still can't come up with a word that says, what needs to be said when someone you love is going though bullshit. we've had a very long time to come up with one. yet nobody has. when i tell people about my mom. they all try to say the same thing. im sorry your going through this horrible shit and i wish i could somehow make it better. so im coining a new word fartisigaden.

farstigaden can now be used instead of all the other ones. farsigaden can mean what all the other words fail to convey. it can mean i know what your going through but can't even begin to tell you because when i went through it it was worse because it happened to me. It can mean i would make it better if i could. It can mean solidarity fellow human and good luck through your sucky journey. because only you can travel that road but im here for you to send postcards to. it can mean i care about you and will always be here for you to rant at. It can mean when my mom died i was "insert story here". but mosty it can mean that your not alone and even though i can't feel your pain i will gladly let you share some of it with me. it can relieve the burden from the giver far more than it can from the receiver.
so from now on a simple farsigaden will mean more to me than all the other words that can't quite seem to pin it down. and i will know that i am loved and that you care and none of us need to struggle anymore to figure out how to say the perfect words.
