Hi Jenn
I am sorry to hear about your husband’s health issue. It sounds as though it is treatable and he will eventually be restored to full health.
It is such a testament to your fantastic character that you are so concerned about your friend’s health, regardless of your personal family concerns.
Obviously, you are a very unselfish, compassionate person. I would like to ask you Jenn, if your reaching out to others, in their time of need, is one of your “coping mechanisms” that helps you during your husband’s health challenge.
I don’t know if I would have the strength of character to employ this methodology, however I have often thought that if I was in a similar situation, that reaching out to others would take my mind off of my own concerns.
Sending your thoughts of loving-kindness. - eKim
