Ever been in pain and someone told "Well... at least..."? Has anyone ever “at least”-ed you? Oh boy. I’m so sorry. Their desire to put your pain in perspective isn’t a language of love. I always wish I had the right reply: “Well, even if it could be better, it’s not better right now.” “At least I’m not punching *you* in the esophagus right now...” ☺ Have you ever figured out the right way to ask for a better response?
