Now, if I see it in the library i'm bound to pick it up.<br /><br />The grief quote hit home for me too, but it's not about my CFS at the moment. With all the counselling I've had this year I'm now, at last, grieving for earlier losses. At times it feels like a mountain of grief but it is miraculous. Your quote reminded me there will be an end to the pain.Dusty Bogwranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378437798741434260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-39399849775940920222010-08-14T23:52:33.527-04:002010-08-14T23:52:33.527-04:00You wrote: Besides being beautiful prose, this qu...You wrote: Besides being beautiful prose, this quote really hit me. I feel much the same way about my own grief over the life I once led before CFS. In the early days of my illness, that grief was overwhelming, but over the years it has faded. <br /><br />My response: You took the words right out of my mouth! :-)Dominiquehttp://www.4wallsandaview.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-5866858051341746932010-08-14T15:41:14.392-04:002010-08-14T15:41:14.392-04:00Renee & Shelli -

I can't believe I waited so long to read it! Yes, I agree that loss of role is a big issue for all of us with CFS. I, too, had a professional career tied to my identity. Glad to hear you feel stronger and more whole these days!<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-70247429905358928612010-08-14T15:41:13.742-04:002010-08-14T15:41:13.742-04:00Renee & Shelli -

You asked a question about if we were still shivering in the cold. <br />Grief used to be heavy and it would return tenfold when I would yet experience another loss...especially becoming homebound. But now, it is only periodically that it comes to visit and I may cry or feel sad a bit, but mostly it passes quickly.<br />And it is so true...we have little control over when it surfaces...it just does. Lovely quote, Sue...thought provoking.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-14406480382024679302010-08-14T14:04:54.731-04:002010-08-14T14:04:54.731-04:00Great quote, Sue.

Just a reminder that I never quite have a handle on this thing.Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068094486297918345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-51929356434256380092010-08-14T13:53:42.048-04:002010-08-14T13:53:42.048-04:00I also read the book and agree with your review. ...I also read the book and agree with your review. The book was much better than the movie, as is usually the case.<br /><br />Your quote about grief also echoes my own experience. I once was a nurse practitioner and that was my identity. It's taken a while to develop one that is not tied to a profession. However,I feel mentally and psychically stronger and more whole now that I have finished grieving for what nurses diagnose as "loss of role."Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044619838404832104noreply@blogger.com
