Thank you! That's so very kind of you to say. I started coming on here more often because my chronic pain and life circumstances (with disability, chronic pain, being a caregiver for my father after he had a severe stroke) just really get me down. It's oddly easier to share compassion with others than it is to share it with myself.

But also it helps sometimes to feel not so alone. Or to have something come out of all this hurt if there's something my family or I learned that might help someone else...and of course to learn from others.

Grateful for you, and all the others here. Thanks.
