"Our belief in life cannot eliminate our suffering, only find its way to fee our heart." Mark Nepo
| We can be sure that there is suffering in the world. All we have to do is look at our situation -- the situation of our loved one. We can focus on the suffering of our loved one who has a difficult and terminal illness, or we can focus on the good in life. Even when I am with my loved one, I focus on the good. I try to draw him out of his hallucinations by reminiscing with him about past trips, past experiences. This seems to work sometimes. We can giggle and enjoy the memories. But, most of the time, I just listen to him within his own hallucinations. It depends on the day. I try not to resist either circumstance, but to spend time with him in whatever capacity is available on that given day in that given moment. |
