Listen....some people just can't get far enough to feel complete empathy. It's okay. Don't let it be a stumbling block. They will always be there. You have to go around them, over them or through them, but just get past them.
When my baby came to me with a broken heart, sobbing because of something ugly that someone said that hurt her deeply....why I would just tell her that we all have scars. I just did my best to help her through these times but it WAS hard. I couldn't give her one good reason why humans are so mean. I could only try to comfort her and go on.
Today, she is a healthy minded individual that has so much empathy for others. Her chosen profession is working with folks that are damaged and unable to properly care for themselves. I am very proud of the woman she has become.
So please know....there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Endurance can sometimes be so very difficult. Be encouraged, Dena. Only you are living it. The rest of us are all on the sidelines but you have so much support. Concentrate on that. Put your blinders on to the rest. Please. |
