I tried to leave a comment myself and couldn't.

So much of the loss I went through has ultimately been a gift. I really have seen how strong I can be. And all the pain was so much better than living with the depression I had for so many years. Life is such a treasure, I just came from a lovely walk in Central Park. Again, many thanks for your kind words, for everyone's.

You're willing to put your truth out to the world and allow the rest of us to learn from your experience. <br />You help me understand that I'll be smacked for being death obsessed or sentimental or melodramatic or something. That it will hurt even if I expect it. Jeez, it even hurts when my editor criticizes my writing, though I know she's right. <br /><br />But you are stirring waves and that's a good thing for the world and for you as a writer. We have become such a rude and angry culture, so it's a hard time to be the target and in some ways it's good to know you're hitting the soft spots.<br /><br />I love this quote: "One of them, Michael Eigen, a therapist and author of at least twenty books, said to me, 'If you go out into the world, you will be attacked by others. If you stay in your cave, you will be attacked by yourself.'"<br /><br />Thank you Robin. Keep going.<br />Elaine<br />Elaine Mansfieldhttp://elainemansfield.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625031513047709215.post-84411751906539056482012-10-26T13:51:14.263-04:002012-10-26T13:51:14.263-04:00there was plenty of heart - that column wasn't...there was plenty of heart - that column wasn't too heady - let people absorb what's in there, esp the Eigen quoteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625031513047709215.post-47173329360622486142012-10-26T07:46:31.346-04:002012-10-26T07:46:31.346-04:00Thanks, Bill.
