The sight reminded me of a visitor to the hospital who is keeping a sick patient company. It's about right, though.
JF, my friend, that right there ^^^ is exactly right, and you know, a very helpful way to look at this. She is sick. Inside.
Not all illness and pain is visible on the outside. That metaphor has been invaluable to me through this, bringing out my compassion, once I accepted her internal pain as a real illness.
Would you react the same way if she had cancer? No, I know you wouldn't.
I'm not going to hit you with anything heavy right now, except, look at that metaphor up there ^^^ as reality.
Because it is.
Hang in there...
