All I Can Do
Wednesday, October 18, 2006
From every experience in life we learn something. Even the most tragic events can teach us lessons about ourselves, others, life…Sometimes these are hard lessons; ones we would rather not have had. I lead a wonderful life, but these past few weeks have given me a glimpse of horror. It is easy for me to give in and slip back into my wonderful, comfortable life, but I still feel the slight tug of the necessity to continue to do something, even when I am told to do nothing. When does one stop, and say enough is enough? I was there, and to some extent, I still am. In the meantime, I have learned……that when you are trying your best to help someone heal, it can be twisted and turned into being meant to hurt
…that sometimes, the best thing to do might be nothing
…that people can be convinced that those that want the best for them and love them the most are against them
…that mental illness is something more real than I could ever have imagined
…that I can’t fix every problem that I set my heart and mind to. And this is perhaps the most frustrating of all…
My song for today: Chantal Kreviazuk "All I Can Do"
All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it

I don't know what to say except that you are doing a great deal by just being there. Just remember that throughout all of this you need to take care of yourself as well.
