Re: Re: Nada is now hospitalized with pneumonia

[Guest guest]

Dear Annie,

I have been gone for a while, ( a six week " therapy " roadtrip) and have

just read of your recent turn of events. I wish you and your sister relief

and release from the pain, grief, and confusion of this deeply complex

relationship, and I wish, for your Nada, relief and release from the throes

of her own disordered self. May her release be peaceful, swift, and

gentle. May you, your sister and family find the much needed and well

deserved respite, and shelter during this time

I am so very touched by the grace and compassion with which you and your

sister have dealt with your Nada, and your own lives. Sometimes this

journey is so hard, so painful, that all any of us can do is pray for some

kind of spiritual grace. In my mind, you and your sister epitomize this

grace and compassion, and, in so generously and honestly sharing your

experiences, have helped to forge a roadmap for many of the rest of us.

I'll be thinking of you-all often in the coming weeks, and holding you

in light and prayer.

May all that is good, and whole, and true, rise up around you and your

family, like a shield, as a light, and give you strength, and bring you

peace.

Sunspot.
