How Much?
Most times, there is no absolutely correct answer. Especially in the moment. And, sometimes we are too close, too involved to have a healthy perspective. That isn’t right or wrong; it’s just reality.
Example: Grief. I believe that in our society, we don’t allow enough time or space for grief. It can also be true, though, that we can get stuck in our grief, clinging and grasping to the romance of memory, laying in isolated sadness where smells and voices and images are imprisoned, holding our unbeating heart against time.
How can one know where those lines are drawn for one’s mind, heart, and soul? One side honoring the love and connection while waiting to feel a return to whole, the other side bracing through the discomfort and loss to bravely face new sunrises and one’s own continuance. I suggest that sometimes we are too close and too involved to see where we are and what we most need at any moment.
That’s the miracle of having friends who know us and care about us.
