Wisewoman -- When I think of you in this situation, I see the Tyne Daley character is Judging Amy, who fights so relentlessly against the social services system for abused children, and then suffers the effects of the stress for herself.

The story of the starfish seems especially appropriate for you. What you accomplish makes a difference for each one you help. And that is enough. Even Mother Theresa could not help all the suffering ill in Calcutta, no less all in India or the world.

Peace and blessings.
