It is important for patients to hear and have both sides of their treatment. It is always a choice and some don't realise that by their actions they are making a choice exp. not taking care of themselves. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes it just goes terrible wrong. We cannot kick ourselves around for the rest of our lives simply because life has changed. We have to change with it. Just as you did twice. You forgave released and moved on with your life. <BR/><BR/>Carrie there is no rush on the award. It is in your hands now. You can take as long as you wish. I wanted you to know YOU and YOUR BLOG are appreciated. You now know that.<BR/><BR/>I remember being a teenager too. I would not want to repeat that for any amount of money. The emotional stress was harder to deal with than the lessons being taught.<BR/><BR/>Carrie THANK YOU for being there for your fortunate daughter and 44 other deserving little individuals.Mckay Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442323148923575037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193664024838510460.post-15400564444537288302008-11-21T04:23:00.000-05:002008-11-21T04:23:00.000-05:00Since I have spent many years in pain, (almost pai...Since I have spent many years in pain, (almost pain free these days) I know about what that looks like. I can see it in the eyes. I think that is why I got so close with most of my patients. They would listen to me when they couldn't listen to their families saying the same things. Validation goes a long way to allowing healing as well. I used to always tell my favorite patients who didn't take care of themselves, "Death is a valid choice." I truly meant that, because I cared enough to let them choose for themselves. I was there whatever they decided.<BR/><BR/>In my personal relationships, forgiveness and release allowed me to validate myself, and leave that relationship quickly, more than once.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for such a thought provoking post. <BR/><BR/>Have yet to do my charming award post but I shall get it done soon. Tonight was theater night for my middle school daughter and I spent the afternoon and evening supervising 45 middle schoolers. Ain't life fun? <BR/><BR/>I remember being a teenager. My heart goes out to them. It's hard to find yourself at that age. However, if you don't give yourself a chance as a kid, you face emotional stress until you do take the time to sit with yourself, and get to know yourself. If you don't know how, find the kid in you, they'll show ya!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193664024838510460.post-5457429270210836492008-11-20T13:24:00.000-05:002008-11-20T13:24:00.000-05:00Leora thanks for your encouraging comment.
