Here are some wise words from the Skeezyks if I am allowed to copy and past his post.
Quote:
I am sorry for your pain Sophiesmom... personally I tend not to reach out any more. Few, if any, can really understand my pain & few know how to respond. So when I have reached out for comfort, or divulged my struggles, I generally just end up feeling exposed & foolish. I have reached the point where I no longer seek healing, either from within or without. My goal now is simply to sit silently with my pain with compassion & lovingkindness.
There is a wonderful book by Parker J. Palmer titled: A Hidden Wholeness- The Journey Toward an Undivided Life. In this book Palmer asserts no one can ever really understand another person's innermost feelings. They are too complex. All we can do, all we should do, is to stand at the edge of a person's sacred circle & provide quiet support for the person's self-healing. And so, with that thought in mind, please know I am standing at the perimeter of your sacred circle.
