You sound like a very good guy. It would be so good to know that someone is there, even to sit and silence and just be there.

Sometimes the pain is too much to communicate. Sometimes no one has ever cared at all, so there is no ability to trust, because you're just expecting to be blown off again. Sometimes you don't know how to reach out.

I don't think this is something you should internalize. You just need to be steady and let her know you're there. When she's ready she will open up.

But, I agree. You would be a great person to have in life! But, also, take care of yourself. Don't forget you when carring for others.
