I have been ill for the past 5 years with Fibromyalgi, which is very painful, scoliosis of the sp, also painful, and fatigue.I live in Ca, but for 3 years moved to the East coast to be nearer to my mother who was dying of a rare cancer, adrenal carcinoma. My daughter, who was 10 at the time, really enjoyed seeing snow, being close to her grandma ad gandfather, and attended a Montessori Farm school, where they had to care for chickens, gr, pigs and build a beuatifuk vgggie, organic garden grass fed beef, bees as well as Latin, math, english, historyetc. The farm was 1136 acress, and she really blossomed and loved it. Meanwhile, I developed C-Difficil, and was really laid out in my bed, or bathroom I lost 40 pounds. When we returned to Santa Barbara ( I cooked for you once, years ago at Arriana Huffington’s). Howeve, upon my return, I just couldn’t get my strength back. my daughter and I lean toward organic foods, healthy living. She even spent her 1st year of high school at Oak Grove ( Krishamurti) school in Ojai. She is now taking the “breaak” from me. I never believed that has to happen, and is living in Ojai with her dad.Do you have any sggestions for me re:Firromyalgia. I am on disability, and WANT my life back. I have a Masters in Public Health, and have toiled in the fields of non profits all my life. I am 57 years old, the 4th eldest of 10. I managed ot household growing up; my 3 ollder sibs were gone by the time I was 11, and my mom was always too tired,pregnant or breastfeeding breastfeding to do much of anything. My dauhter and I study and try to practice easten religions ( Vidanta, Zen,)
I have had courses/treatment in accupuncture, Reki, pratcice yoga, and have done rebirthig. And homeopathics, Chinese remedies,I really feel as if I am at he end of my rope, trying to do a looan modificaton for my little house, being present for my daughter ( she has been staying with her father in Ojai all this past week) and getting on disability. Yikes!
I know you must get many questions, and I will be patient ( a good practice for me!) to hhear back from you.
With peace and gratitude,
Jenny

you are right, we need to let go of the need to make sense of everything. this is the way to peace. it is not always easy to do so. why do we always want to try to figure everything out? (rhetorical) the animal kingdom doesn’t seem to do this. we, being the more “intelligent” ones seem to want to participate in this and it doesn’t really always serve us well. often we are left as we started–still unable to make sense of it all. prov 3. lean not unto our own understanding.

Grief is indeed mysterious and often doesn’t make sense, but after years of working with people who are grieving, I have a complete and abiding faith in the process of grief. Our grief possesses a wisdom that our limited human minds can’t understand, but it always brings us to exactly where we need to be. The key is to stay open to the grief and let it guide you rather than trying to understand it and direct it.
