I never know what to do when someone is crying?

-Ok so rarely i see people cry. But yesterday my mom was crying because my aunt said some really mean things to her... like so bad i cant repeat it because it would appear as stars. Anyways i didnt know what to do or say to make her feel better. What should i do next time?You should give her a big hug and try and make her feel better. Encourage her to stand up for herself and you should defend your mum too, don't allow anybody to disrespect her in such a way.



Some people are cruel and enjoy hurting others, why? Because they spot a weaker personality in someone and see an easy victim. If your mum became more assertive and confident, bullies like your aunt would think twice about picking on her again, good luck.When you don't know what to say to a hurting person then just provide your presence...I'm sure that just knowing that someone is there for you will make you feel better....but since your mom is hurt by what your aunt had said then you can assure her that what ur aunt said is not true (if it's not really true) or (if its true) tell her that you will still love her no matter what!
I ignore it, or at least I say generic lame things like "heh don't worry sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" or "it's okay don't worry (something generic to say that makes people feel better)
please you may just try to take a glass of water for her and try to say something else and try keep her mind others are foolish people hence they are talk like this. and give hug to your mom
