my process for being comforting through text:
- communicate that you understand them. maybe by interpreting their feelings into words, or by abstracting.
- communicate that you care for them. even just admitting "i wish i could comfort you more" at the end of a message works. or "is there anything i can do" SOMETIMES works
- sometimes (only sometimes) you can try to provide a realistic path forward. like accepting a truth or moving on or changing something. this one is precarious.
Thank you! I'll try it

Im bad at comforting too but , Ive heard that sh!//!ng on the person who made them sad works . However , it’s also bad for that other person . Maybe try a hug?
