Was recently asked this question. To be honest I had to look the word up. Oh yea I had a general idea what the word meant but had to be sure. Well when it is used in the way of "a condition of suffering or destitution", I would have to say bitter. But what if the fight isn't yours. You have been entered in by association. It isn't even your fight!
Well then you have to pull yourself away for a moment and take inventory. Believe me that can be hard to do. You look at the one who has the fight and you care deeply~ but. You know that you have had to walk in similar shoes. Try to walk the high road with not getting destroyed in the process. I have done it and it is worth it in the end. But at the time many question you and ask why are you doing it that way?
How do we support without being apart? Not an easy one but a necessary one. Not to lose oneself in the mist of upheaval. Especially when it is not yours to deal with or control. Once realizing that I cannot be apart~how do we show support? Kinda like that tough love thing. I am here to listen and offer a hug but it is time to deal. Many times I have said that we go up and down and back and forth but we still arrive. We can take the easy way or the hard way but we will be where we need to be at the time we need to be there. We need to learn the lesson and it just doesn't go away if we choose to ignore it. It may go temporary, but it returns and it has more power than when it came around the first time.
So my dear friends, I am here. Even at times it seems that I am gone. God gave me the grace to be a good friend. When I say nothing at all, I just may be holding you in my heart. Supporting through spirit and prayers. Trust in oneself. Trust in God. You have done the homework~you will pass the test!
