Hi Frances,
I completely understand and empathize with your plight and challenges. I’ve observed that the only people who really understand the effects from accute pain or chronic accute pain are those that have it.
I realize that most people don’t have any clue about and a good portion of those don’t make the effort or really care to gain a better understanding.
As difficult as it can be at times, especially in the midst of dealing with severe and or intractable pain etc. Is to find the emotional and spiritual strength to forgive the person who doesn’t seem to understand or exhibit any kind of empathy at all for their lack of experience on the matter.
I find that it also supports my overall wellbeing and peace of mind.
Best wishes on your personal journey and I hope that your levels of pain reduce, subside and with the assistance of the universe, disappear.
GODSPEED
