If I may say so... I think
@MemPat was making a suggestion to help you get through your pain. It has been proven that to heal one’s pain is to help others that are going through the same or similar circumstances.
Members of AA believe that to stay sober, one must help a new member.
Other support groups recommend the same.
Cancer patients are encouraged to help those newly diagnosed.
And there is a support group for parents who have lost a child to violence to help others who’ve also been through the most horrible cause of pain and suffering.
It doesn’t take away the pain, but it does help with the stress and the sadness and the loss of joy. It helps to talk to those who’ve been through it before. They seem to be the ones who are most understanding what you're going through.
It’s so important to the one who’s there supporting, to heal.
