you console by offering your time and attention, an assurance to be a sturdy pole that one can lean to when the knees starts to become weak. consoling is not necessarily helping them get over those feelings or offering help to solve the problem. It is when you allow the person hurting to let them journey with you in their misery.
vulnerability on the other hand is knowing that you can be in misery but you are still safe. Being able to articulate the pain, guilt and shame, yet, when you see that person, you feel ok. The hopeless situation or regretful situation is something you can live with.
I love how you can be with your comfort place and people/person and regain the will to continue. You don't need to tell a soul that you are in a hard situation, but in having a change of view (literally-from city to seaside) can make you stronger.
let's see how long this love can survive and thrive..
