I’m going to think on that as I move towards labor this time, with what feels like so little strength left -- I think it will help. I appreciate you opening up that way to me.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834453573285443355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110052640237660954.post-10677009848888176392015-07-02T22:26:20.878-05:002015-07-02T22:26:20.878-05:00It's been a couple of years since I visited yo...It's been a couple of years since I visited your blog. I was full-time caregiving for 4 yrs to my mom who had a rare brain progressive brain disease. (1 person in 10 has a rare disease; think how many in your own church, etc!) She passed May 26th. I'm not coping very well with her passing--I'm a 50+yr old orphan now. Sucks.<br /><br />Your feelings of "almost no one gets it" resonates inside me--feeling lost and alone albeit from completely different life experiences.<br /><br />Somehow I came across some info on "resilience/strengthening the human spirit". There are 3 main components mentioned: "I HAVE" "I CAN" and 'I AM". For example:<br /><br />I HAVE people around me I trust and who love me no matter what.<br />I AM respectful of myself and others.<br />I CAN talk to others about things that frighten or bother me. (though I'm struggling with this)<br /><br />For me, there is comfort in that. I hope that you are able to find some comfort as well--DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110052640237660954.post-75995173770853113452015-07-02T09:35:09.593-05:002015-07-02T09:35:09.593-05:00I might need to borrow your friend. ;) My perspect...I might need to borrow your friend. ;) My perspective most everything (minus the one smart thing I’ve figured out above) is feeling the opposite of grown. I’m hoping eventually I’ll get it worked out inside here.<br />Be sure to let me know when your little one gets here. I forget when your baby is due…I was thinking soonish?Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834453573285443355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110052640237660954.post-2087784585392175212015-07-01T22:04:00.264-05:002015-07-01T22:04:00.264-05:00Love this!

I pray I never forget for a moment what this has been like, so that I can be there for others. Just be there for them. Luckily I had a friend who did that for me. And because of her I have grown and seen past my own suffering. So thankful for that.Alisiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420548606449772862noreply@blogger.com
