My favourite quote is 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'.
Life really is a roller-coaster with it's ups and downs and varying speeds. Yet no matter how hard you try to stay on an even keel, something always comes along to kick you in the teeth and remind you just how fragile life is. We are all trying to live the best we know how and to get along together. So take time to appreciate those around you and tell them how much you love them occasionally. A smile and a kind word speaks volumes.

How can I comfort others with just touch? I have a gentle touch, but I want there to be warmth in it.
ie. hand on shoulder to ask how someone's doing.
This is not a sexual question...just to clear things up. (link)

Sometimes just a small touch on the shoulder is enough to convey a lot of feelings. Sometimes if it is accompanied by a slight smile and warmth in the eyes, that helps too. Just the fact that you are there with the person who needs comforting is all that is necessary occasionally.
You need to judge each situation and person individually, taking into account how well you know them too. Family members and close friends probably appreciate a hug and a few choice words, whereas friends and acquaintances may only need a slight touch on the hand.
A warm look can convey a million words and emotions and just knowing you care can really help. Whatever life throws at someone, knowing they have a friend they can rely on in the good and bads time is the absolute best thing ever. You sound a really great person to me and I wish you all the very best life has for you.
