We all tend to be so overwhelmed by our own emotions. I should have realized this sooner, but it hit me just now.
A young woman was on her phone and she started tearing up when she said, “I feel like….”
That conclusion brings me to our LBD partners. They are in a constant raw emotional state.
I am sure it’s exhausting for them. I know it’s exhausting for us.
Truly, in the interest of avoiding “compassion” fatigue, I try to remember his p.o.v. whenever I can.
So, yes, it has to be very hard on my loved one to ride those waves of feeling.
Even worse when they are mostly non-verbal.
