I am in a terrible state tonight. So miserable. So sad. I just wish this could be over . Especially for my lovely man. I am tortured by my worry of how he is feeling. I wish I could have him home again. What a bloody awful way to spend the last years of our marriage. We had so many plans. I'm sorry. I know you are all suffering. I wish you all some kind of peace.xxx
Your suffering deserves empathy and attention because it is so deep and strong.
You are suffering, that's all.
True, other people are, but I 'd like to tell you what a friend of mine told me years ago.
I was desperate because I had lost the man of my life.
I said that she might think I was suffering too much.
My friend teaches Greek Language and Literature and is a renowned scholar.
She quoted some lines from the Greek tragedy Alcesti, where the main character says: "What is the measure of suffering?"
It means that suffering can't be measured. I can't say you are suffering more or less than me or ..him..or them...
It also means that you can't put a measure to suffering, you can't say it is too much or enough or too little.
Suffering always deserves empathic attention and consideration
You miss the life you could have had.
I can understand what we feel like when we realize that our plans, hopes, dreams won't come true.
I feel robbed of my life by life
( I'm not sure my post has a meaning in English. Too long ..too many thoughts to convey in a language which is not mine)
A big hug!!
