Ask Lynn to keep a journal, tell her to get it in her mind that she MUST post to it, at some point, every day. If that's all she manages to do on a bad day, then it must be done.

At least three sections every day.
My health: how she feels, compared to yesterday, compared to the worst day. New issues, new symptoms to discuss with the Dr. or nurse. All about her health.

My moods today:was there an overall mood? Did something make her happy, or sad? Did she suddenly have an insighful moment, what was it?

Life, love, questions & wonders: Here are those things she thought of today, or experienced, who has touched her life, what wonders she saw today, what emotions she felt and why.

Tell her, these are all the things everyone should consider in a day. Right now everyone will be focusing on her health, even her. It's obviously important and having it in a journal will allow her to gage progress. But she can't stop living, considering the other important things in life. Forceing herself to write them in a journal will assure that she does not get lost in self pity or worse in the throws and despair of depression. How her "moods" project in her journal will help her be aware should depression begin to rule her thoughts, and to tell the doctor.

In the end, she will have something wonderful to share with so many others. A written testament of her battle. It's important for people to know that others have been through similiar events and have survived.

Tell her to make this journal, the purpose of her infliction, and to know that her survival must be the outcome. She will have battle scars, no journey through life is spared, but she will have the journal and the scars to share triumph with others.

Tell her NOT to bow to learned helplessness, that deep abyss in which one's fate is non of their own design. That despair of waiting for some sign or answer and in the wait, forgetting to live. Tell her to take the power of providing her own answers and choosing to live with a purpose to love with wonder, and to deal with each day, one at a time.

That's me, always giving people something to do or something to think about. That's life, get busy or get thinking, that's my motto! :wink:

Lots of love going out your way.






As always Di, thinking thinking thinking. Words of wisdom and learning. I expected no less from you my dear.

A journal is a good thing....if she will do it? She has this way of NOT finding the time? I will suggest this to her. It is a very good idea.

I have already tried to explain to her that she can be a teacher to others going through the same thing.

Luv you Di.

Morning; that was awesome. I felt the passion coming from that warrior prayer. Thanks for the ideas. I already send out for prayer and do my own as well.

Thank you to my friend.
