Look at all the comments here "we need to find a cure for this", "this is just heart wrenching", and the comments in the style of "i lost my X to this disease, i just wish..." They all practically offer the same sentiment and effect as this "let's just pray they find a cure" comment, yet you focused in on this one because of the "pray" buzzword lmao

Said the insensitive b***h who clearly doesn’t understand the world. Seriously, who raised you? First of all, you said “Oh pRaYeRs ArEnT HeLpFuL AcTuAuLlY dOiNg SoMeThInG hElPs” not everyone is a medical professional and can do something big as of finding a cure for a horrible disease that easy. When people say their thoughts and prayers, they mean that even if they are not a medical professional they are showing support and sympathy for those who ARE medical professionals. Prayers are something some people do as a way of showing sympathy. But while everyone’s doing their best, you just wanna be that one piece of s**t that is the one not helping. What doesn’t help is being a d******d to people who are showing their sympathy by praying. So @laurawood back off and be quiet if you don’t have anything nice to say.

But being a d**k to sentimentalists and well wishers who don't have the answers isn't one of those things that help.

The prayers of the world are often the world changers. It is often the praying people who do a lot in this world. Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa, Gandhi. The idea that prayer doesn't change things is fallacious.

There is nothing you can do in the end accept pray. Mere mortals have not control especially over this horror. Caregivers suffer too. The hardest thing I’ll ever do is sit with my mother while she went through. Unless I go there too. But then I won’t remember. 😩

Being a D**k to people for absolutely Zero reason doesnt help either.

Prayer will help the caregiver ! Without it , you loose your mind as well !
