I don't feel bad. I know that she loves her job and considers it a gift that people share stories of their lives with her. I don't wonder how she copes - I'm trusting that she's got the training and experience to do that. I have enough to worry about.

Good question.

Don't strain yourself,

Whatever momentarily arises
in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.

Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
