I wish there were a way you could banish thoughts like this "Thinking about my inability to handle all that I have been given in this life makes me feel really sad. Alone. Pathetic." You've been given more trauma and stress than anyone ever deserves. Of course you're not okay and I wish the people in your life (friends and family) could open their eyes and see what you need (without you asking) and help to lift some of your burden. <br /><br />Are you at least enjoying watching women's world cup soccer?!!<br /><br />Best wishes.<br />Davidah<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879690231462568727.post-14727220930434169772015-06-06T19:32:14.208-04:002015-06-06T19:32:14.208-04:00Dear Peg,

I remember once reading that you felt like you never had read about others' who had a similar experience to you, even if they also were going through grief, or change, or another difficulty. I came across this book, perhaps you've already seen it, but I thought you might be interested. Here's the title and info from Amazon... <br /><br />This Is How We Grow: A Psychologist's Memoir of Loss, Motherhood, & Discovering Self-Worth & Joy, One Season at a Time Paperback – November 12, 2013<br /><br />Best wishes.

What would I want her to do? What loving things would I think she deserved whether she felt she deserved them or not?<br /><br />Personally, I was always appalled by the Giving Tree. I don't know if giving everything to the unappreciative is virtuous or not. The boy never learns to give in return.

Or, if you were giving advice to a good friend who was feeling that way, what would you advise? Whatever the answers are, try to do for yourself. You deserve to be taken care of, most of all by yourself.

Take a weekend for you? Even if its to stay in a hotel for a night? I know you don't know me but you can come stay at my house for a couple of days and I will pamper and take care of you. You need sometime to not be a wife, a mother, a friend, a daughter, a sibling.
