We need the Gift of Others

No matter how independent we might be, painful loss can push us off balance. When we find ourselves losing control and discovering that it is impossible to cope by ourselves, it is then that we learn how to receive. We slowly realize and acknowledge that we need others, that we cannot go it alone and be healed without help. The gift of others in the form of wise, listening friends, skilled medical persons, providers of child-care and prepared meals, professionals who help with needed information and guidance into the future, all these can be essential for us to lean on in our time of desolation.
