what is your advice on how we can be to support a friend during their journey? sometimes I feel the need to help them and be there with them. but i also feel the limits of my low capacity, like I'm not strong and stable enough to go through this with them.
It is a really great and important question. And to be totally honest, perhaps the focus of my next book. I think honoring your capacity is necessary, otherwise when we give beyond our limits we end up feeling resentful. Give what you can. A loving way to straddle this could be to tell your friend, I am here for you and with you, but I also know my capacity is limited with my own burdens too, please know I am here for you in this limited capacity, and I wish it could be more.
Thank you, today i felt just like that alone with physical pain that comes and goes, with longing to be with family on the other side of the world, with should bes and helplessness...your lines came as a light into my soul...
