I don't know if I believed what I was saying, but I wanted to comfort Marta. It didn't matter if it wasn't true anyway or whether I believed it. What mattered was how it made Marta perceive her situation. Did it make her feel less alone? Did it make her feel like there were more people on her side? If so, then I was willing to tell her the things she needed to hear.
