Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech
My older daughter is suffering more pain, and I feel so helpless. I want to go to her, but she wants her life normal as long as possible. But nothing is normal. I feel as if something is breaking my body in two, and she must be on a journey I cannot even imagine. She is so brave and transparent and loving - giving as much as she can to her daughter, her friends and family. I hope and pray we are giving something comforting to her. I know she is grateful for her life, with all her writing, teaching, travel, relationships and most of all motherhood. I believe it's as she says, she feels blessed. But it's also so arbitrary and unfair and cruel to not let her witness her daughter mature, to not see the effects of her novel on her readers, to not be freer to see people because of Covid 19. She deserves none of this, and I don't know how I will be able to bear the loss of her vibrant, beautiful being.
