I know how you felt. I even had my little six month old Little guy bite me while feeding. Ow! Those are the times you need to take a deep breath and probably a walk…preferably alone!

Comment on Compassion & Listening by Rae

Thanks for the insight into your practice of compassion Paul. For me, I struggle mostly extending compassionate thoughts to those I don’t especially like. For example, those spreading hate on the Internet. I don’t know them well enough to know their redeeming qualities or their motivations and engaging with them based on my dislike of their actions/sentiments will only result in more hate. All I can think of to do is to remember we all do the best with what we have got at the time and that it takes all types to make the globe. Any thoughts?

Hi Rachael, For me compassion is helped by remembering when I was a small gentle boy being angry with a friend, but wanting to make up because I like my friend more than I cared for the reason we were fighting. It helps me to remember that to like a person holds the key to compassion and forgiveness.

Helpless are many of my tears lately. Or just so lost and overwhemed.

Thanks Elle. Is it brilliant because he can voice his want to play with his genitals? Or brilliant because he can still be coherent when he is touching his genitals? Either way its moments like that that make me wish for girls

Comment on Visiting Nanna by Rae

Thanks for the support Tam. It is one of those situations that I find easier to navigate in the moment. When it comes to reflection then it gets harder. In the moment I find it almost effortless to respond to her needs. It is later, sitting quietly, writing and thinking that it hurts me. Most of all because I find it hard to let go of parts of her that she no longer recognises. xxx

Ohh Rae, big big *hugs* I have tears in my eyes as this reads so true for me & my family as well. Dementia is such a cruel & heart breaking thing to happen to your loved ones, but more for those who survive it (
