Maybe it's the fear of seeing someone in pain and not being able to make it stop. Or it could be the fear of powerlessness, which is one of the most uncomfortable emotions we can feel.

And what does this have to do with everything we've been talking about this month? Repairing our relationship with love. Being more human and more kind, believing our kids when they tell us who they are.
