What are your opinions and wishes for what to do now?

We demonstrate compassion: feeling and suffering with.

Compassion is suffering with, and this makes us human.
:- Doug.
An expert says suffering is the loss of the intactness of the person. Now I ask if this is not the work, rather than suffering.
What is the difference between work and suffering? Suffering suggests pain, while work suggests sweat. What is the end of the work, it’s purpose and effect? Possibly just the work itself.
:- Doug.
Feeling inadequate, overwhelmed, anxious, and the like are some of the harder parts of having a close one whose needs we cannot alleviate.

Perhaps you either suffer or you work. Perhaps you do both. Try to remember work is not suffering.
