Speechless ...

-----
He called and told me he has a serious heart problem
and started explaining it then said that he
might have a heart attack any minute!
-----
How did I react?
What did I tell him?
a comforting word?
something to give him hope?
give him strength?
make him think and feel positive?
---
No!
I was speechless :/
I didn't know what to say!
-----
There are moments in life when I get speechless
I hear bad news
I get shocked
sad
I can cry with someone crying
I can cry even if the person is not crying
instead of being strong for someone
I can’t say a word
I hide myself and avoid facing that person
-----
It is embarrassing
I think it makes them feel like I am not helping at all
Or that I don’t care!
-----
This makes me remember when my friend's sister
died years ago
Days later my friend told me
"Ra-1 you cried more than I did"
I looked at her, and thought
I should have been stronger
I even remember going to her house right after the accident and I stood near the door looking at her and my friends were pushing me to go hug her
I was scared I wanted to run away and not see her like that
I don't know why I do that :/
but everyone react differently when hearing bad news
right?

yes sweety, every one is different, but for me my reaction is like yours and a bit worse, it would take couple of days for me to fully understand what has happened, so I'd be quite calm at the beginning and later I'd be a disaster
for you, even if you can't say something, but you can go and hug and look and make those gestures which can say hell alot,
allah yshafyyh enshallah

Just say matshoof shar, and thats it. at the end normally people will react to these things depending on how close the person is to them.

It's natural!
Some ppl just can't react in this kind of situation, or it takes the more time to take it in :)
