so much sad

There are many people I love who are struggling so intensely right now (five come to mind off the top of my head). My heart is breaking for all the abstract sadness and for all real life hurt that seems to be reverberating. I feel like this fist-shaped muscle will explode out of my chest right now with all the love and all the sadness I have. I can feel them right now, suffering, and I want to take it away as though I can absorb the pain for them. Maybe I am already.
