Don't worry! I think that the impulse to help others is a good one. I am dreaming of getting an MSW to work with my doctor, help people deal.

Mike >> Mike, I know where you are coming from when you say that. But moving on is part of the natural healing process for many people. I saw this very much in the local support group I ran for grieving parents. Most will always care about other parents but need to move on with their lives eventually. Even if people leave our group hopefully they will still find ways to support us. If they can work maybe they will be in a better position to financially support CFS organizations. Have more energy to write a letter to their congressperson, etc. Sydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[which may explain to some, why I'm sticking around and hard researching things that I may never use....] >> Ken, I saw this post last night and it stimulated much thought and even kept me awake until the wee hours. I admire your attitude and can only aspire to follow your creed. I was thinking about how we all find ourselves trapped by our circumstances that have no end in sight. Then, we need to draw on the courage of others and our own personal spiritual being, whomever that may be. We need courage during these trials, literally to draw upon from friends and supporters. I know that often, I can communicate more clearly with a fellow PWC by computer, than I can with a family member face to face. Alone, I would become extremely tired and afraid. I don't want to deal with tribulations alone. My fears and doubts, I've noticed, can hold me captive. Do you ever feel as if you are in a prison of one kind or another? I do, and rant and rave to come to terms with the injustice. I experience repeatedly the stages of grief, reopening wounds and painful memories. I know that there are ten stages of grief, with the first being denial and the last being acceptance. Keubler Ross wrote a book on this subject originally for loved ones to deal with death...entitled " On Death and Dying. " Her second book applied the same ten stages to any loss in life. What a wise woman. Her words on paper remind me that it takes all of us differing times to work through a stage of dealing with our losses. Sometimes I make it to acceptance peacefully, only to turn around and fight the injustice of it all all over again. Suppose, just suppose the little boy who gave his loaves and fishes away had said to himself: " This meal is mine and I will share it with no one, " he would not have witnessed, what we are told is, one of the greatest miracles of all time. The generous generate generosity in others. I know that every day I will come accross opportunites to be generous, but if I fail to respond to these opportunities, who knows what great miracle will never come to birth, what mighty things will not get done? I feel we all have to open the doors of our generosity and share to survive this illness. Cheryl " If I run from truth, I run from myself, for I am made for truth.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2000 Report Share Posted January 17, 2000 Hi, I'll remind you!! is probably burnt out as per the resent posts - and she is trying to write a book about CFS. But I agree that it is necessary to be there for those who fall ill as we know some of what they are experiencing, and support makes a positive difference. We are not islands unto ourselves, and we do need each other. Take care, Christie >From: MCamp10139@... > >In a message dated 1/14/00 6:22:15 PM Eastern Standard Time, >onelist writes: > >> I am signing off of CFSFMExpermental - in fact, I am going off internet >> for a while entirely.
