When We Worry About Someone We Love

/

Have you ever found yourself deeply worried about someone you love — perhaps a parent, a child, a partner, or a close friend? When we care for someone with all our heart, their happiness becomes inseparable from our own. Their smile lights us up. Their struggles weigh us down.
Sometimes, this concern becomes so intense that it feels like we are worried sick. We often explain it by saying, “I’m very attached to them.” But what does it really mean to care deeply for someone — and how can we take care of them, especially when we feel helpless?
Thich Nhat Hanh, the beloved Zen master, shares a story from the Pali Canon that offers gentle wisdom for such moments.
