I've written this by request (Not my own message), but could you check it? "It/This was/is just out of my hopes to ease her pain and sufferings, even a little. That's the best I know from my experience, so.. So, if she doesn't feel like it, please just forget I mentioned qigong." I'd like to hear alternative ways to say it, too. It can be said as a precaution or apologetic word. I don't know the context.

Thank you. :)

Hi, Karlalou. In using “It” and “This,” as the reader, we have no referent. In other words, the person, thing, or idea that these words stand for. However, from reading the sentences, we can deduce that the speaker had recommended qigong to her in the past, and as a result, I feel it better to use the past tense “It was” instead of “It is,” and “That was” instead of “This is.” Similarly, an ellipsis is always three dots, not two, and to signify the end of the sentence, it would be four dots. Therefore, I would write it as such:

It was given (advice or suggestion, is understood) just out of my hope to ease her pain and suffering, even a little. That’s the best I know from my experience, so…. So, if she doesn't feel like trying it, please just forget that I mentioned qigong.

That suggestion was just out of my hope to ease her pain and suffering, even a little, based on my experience, so…. So, if she doesn't feel like trying it, please just forget that I ever mentioned qigong.

As always, I hope that this helps you, Jonathan.

~~"It/This was/is just out of my hopes to ease her pain and sufferings, even a little~~. My suggestion to learn more about qigong as a healing modality comes from a hope that she finds something to help ease her pain, even if only a little. It is based on my own experience and may or may not be the answer for her~~. That's the best I know~~ ~~from~~ .

With kindness,
