It is so hard for an empath to be around suffering. What I’ve been telling people (and doing myself) is to take care of yourself. Serve yourself with respect and make sure that you are putting your needs first. I know that sounds selfish, but I can attest that it is working to heal me on so many levels and bringing forth my authentic self, more and more.
Suffering is a result of resisting the change of spiritual growth--we love familiarity and even if it's not working, we cling to it because we hate the unknown. The only way some people will let go of their drama is for it to get so bad that they have no choice. I hate watching that happen. but when it does I find that pulling away into my safe space and caring for my needs (whatever they may be) is a worthwhile endeavor.
