[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 753047, member: 23706"] I love your posts. You resonate with me so much. I do not see hope as spiritual though. Let me please explain. I see it as a wish, a good wish. But love is what I hang onto the most. It is my go to spiritual emotion. Love is spiritual, the highest form of spirituality to me. Forgiveness is too. Being kind to others even if we don't quite see eye to eye is spiritual. Feeling for those who suffer is spiritual. Nature to me is very spiritual. Animals too. Loving all of God's creation, if, in fact, God is in your life. I don't judge others choices through their hardships.i don't want mine to be judged. I would love to feel hope for Kay but I can't and this is valid and hopefully not judged. I still love her though. I pray for her day and night. But I have no real hope that she will change. I know I'm not alone in this horrid hopeless cloud, and don't want others who feel hopeless to feel ashamed to share their feelings here. It is not shameful. It is sad. Nor does it cause more hopeful people to give up. We don't have that power over others. Wise, I so love how you say you don't accept unacceptable behavior from anyone including yourself. I can not tell you how smart I find that. For years I beat myself up and thought I deserved it, although I never spoke as harshly to anyone else as I did to me. I do not yell at others or name-call. This actually helped my relationship with Kay a tad because at least she has no memories of being called names in anger. Not by any of us. But I called myself names that I would never say out loud. I treated me like dirt. But I stopped about two years ago. Bless my Christian counselor. I so agree that we should treat ourselves as we treat others. If I can pray with no hesitation over those who have hurt me, I can give me a break too. I hope that there is no judgement here.but if so, I will not read those posts of any who judge. I feel like a sister to all of you. We ALL know pain and loss. A few of us even know the horrid death of an angel too young to leave us. God is my love and it comforts me to know that He loves Kay and is trying to reach her. If there is any hope for her, it starts with God. That is how I feel. We are strong, intelligent women and we need the support of one another. I cherish the support I get here. Thank you, Wise. Blessings to all. [/QUOTE]
