Yes, and the connection is truly on a visceral level. This past week I've been having a great deal of abdominal pain (which is where I tend to carry my grief and worry for others). I've not usually one to be emotionally empathetic, it seems to settle in my body. Like a labor. But it feels pretty wonderful when that pain subsides. My body isn't just made for pain but for healing and joy.
@debscherber Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Thank you for posting here, and telling your story. Not feeling alone, or so alone, is the best way we can serve others. For me, in my journey, there have been so many times I felt adrift and alone with no support, or the chance to have someone else nearby [in person or virtually] to kinda lean on. Here on Mayo Clinic Connect, we have the chance to reach up, reach out, and be there. It is indeed powerful.
