Thich Nhat Hanh, buddhist monk, gives the sweetest and most practical mantras for saying to loved ones and giving them your full presence:

1. Darling, I'm here for you

2. Darling, I know you are there and I am so happy because you are truly there.

3. Darling, I know you suffer. That is why I am here for you

4. Darling I suffer. I am trying my best to practice. Please help me.

Here's a link to Thich Nhat Hanh on Oprah Soul Sunday. Feel his sweet presence!
