I also came to a moment in the midst of my loss when i realsied that I was not alone, that there are others who suffer just as I did. I had known this intellectually, but it did not break open my isolation. That began to end at the moment when I knew with all of me that suffering is. Suffering is part of the landscape of being human.
I still wonder why? but I do know I am part of the vast spread of humanity. And this knowing gives me another way to live with my loss and suffering.
