Dear Inner Teacher, I\u2019m feeling very lost, my brain is sluggish.\u00a0 <\/span>I desperately need help.<\/p>\n Dear Jenny, know that many spirits love you.\u00a0 <\/span>If you can\u2019t do anything practical except the minimum \u2014 feeding yourself and walking the dog \u2014 that\u2019s OK.\u00a0 <\/span>Morally speaking.\u00a0 <\/span>You have been alone too much and don\u2019t have the support you need to be able to do more.\u00a0 <\/span>On the other hand, some of the things that are hard for you to do, like work on the machines, or go to exercise classes, have negative consequences.\u00a0 <\/span>You might ask a friend, Demaris or Judith, when they go to let you know so you can go too.\u00a0 <\/span>The other difficulty is your grief.\u00a0 <\/span>As you were reminded by today\u2019s Daily Good<\/a>: you need to be in community to grieve.\u00a0 <\/span>You live in a culture that avoids grief.\u00a0 <\/span>The other difficulty is that you have enormous grief, not for something you had and lost, which is relatively easy to grieve, but for something necessary that you did not get.\u00a0 <\/span>Namely: comfort, support, tenderness, and many other things that a child needs to grow up healthy.\u00a0 <\/span>You need to find a group that will help you grieve.\u00a0 <\/span>Maybe the Thursday night group at Turning Point<\/a>.<\/p>\n Thank You.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Written on Sunday, October 22 Dear Inner Teacher, I\u2019m feeling very lost, my brain is sluggish.\u00a0 I desperately need help.
