Love Is Difficult

From Brothers and Sisters:


Sarah: "Why can't you say anything? One thing to make this feel better?"

Therapist: "There are no shortcuts Sarah, in life or in love. This pain must be felt. The alternative is much worse. It's what makes us special, what makes us beautiful, what makes us worthy...the pain of how we love. But that pain is accompanied by something else isn't it? Hope? With your pain there is hope and that is where you are...somewhere between agony, optimism and prayer. So you're human. You're alive. And that is what we have."
