Setting out to slay the religious pat answers of well-meaning people and challenge the vacuous worldly musings that left her unsatisfied, she has spent her life on a journey di

“Allowing our hearts to fully open and embrace another’s feelings, perspective and suffering grows our ability to love others authentically. The antidote to emotional numbness is empathy.”
Camille Block, Hope For Secondhand Suffering: Tools For The Heart When You Can't Fix Your Loved One's Pain

“Allowing our hearts to become tender and raw due to our circumstances, and we reach a point of humble surrender, it is then that we may call out to God, whether known or unknown. This is the beginning of our heart transformation.”
Camille Block, Hope For Secondhand Suffering: Tools For The Heart When You Can't Fix Your Loved One's Pain

“May your greatest sorrows be a catalyst for your greatest questions, deepest learnings, and finest discoveries.”
Camille Block, Hope For Secondhand Suffering: Tools For The Heart When You Can't Fix Your Loved One's Pain

“When we enter the deep space of empathetic pain and sit in it for longer than a minute, we are invited to enter a sacred realm akin to a Holy of Holies – a place where we can tangibly sense the presence of God. Here, our hearts connect with His, and His Spirit intertwines with ours. IN THIS SPACE OF ENTANGLEMENT our deepest cries mix with our purest form of love for another person, and we find ourselves able to live in the space between heaven and earth, where the paradox of sadness and peace can coexist.”

“Allowing our hearts to become tender and raw due to our circumstances, and we reach a point of humble surrender, it is then that we may call out to God, whether known or unknown. This is the beginning of our heart transformation.”
Camille Block, Hope For Secondhand Suffering: Tools For The Heart When You Can't Fix Your Loved One's Pain

“When we are dealt a difficult hand of cards and find ourselves hitting a wall after having tried every tool in the tool chest, sometimes all we can do is sit in the pain and surrender. It’s in the surrender that we may just meet a peace that transcends our understanding.”
