What would you like to hear?

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if it would be helpful for us as pain sufferers to make a list

of things we'd like for people to say to us to make us feel more heard or

understood?

I was thinking that this list could serve as a kind of cheat-sheet that we can

hand out to all those around us so that rather than them coming up with some

out-of-the-box, hurtful, or otherwise useless comment, maybe they could look at

the list and select a more appropriate response.

Any ideas? What would you like to hear? And, is it good enough to have one list

for all, or is the list different depending on who is saying it?
