Often people don't know what to say. Maybe just tell them to hug you tight because sometime they don't even know this is all they have to do.
I know you are strong MP but it's alright to fall apart at times like this and even if people close to you see it, it's ok, they can handle that. Their love for you will handle it.

I have faith you will make it.
