Hi amag,

The feeling of jealousy at its core is the thought that one is expendable. That when we die our friends and family will be fine without us. In training as a lay minister we were taught never to say to someone in the hospital, “Oh, everyone back home is doing great!” But when I’d say, “You better get well soon, ten people are trying to do your job!” they’d smile the biggest smile. LOL

You are irreplaceable! Believe it! How about when someone talks about their other friends you talk about YOUR other friends? See how it feels.

Maybe you can tell your DH at your next big birthday, “No surprise parties, please!” Then later enjoy the inevitable surprise party with all your friends awaiting you!

Blessings,

Inky
