I am grateful for these kind words and they do ring true. I am looking forward to being on the other side of these feelings. I believe I can change the way I feel. Right now, in my life, this is my most important journey. While it saddens me that other people know this sense of emptiness, that I am not alone in this. These responses make me remember some advice I received so long ago, it was, “what would you tell yourself, if you were speaking to your child?”

I am a very patient person. Right now I am facing things I have not been able to articulate because I have not given it the thought I deserve. I have a good therapist. I wonder what I will be like on the other side of this? Thank you for your thoughtful and provocative words of wisdom. I have these comments on my phone to re read. I love to read and will take every opportunity to find these books and read them.

Kind warm regards, Maureen
