I wanted to say thanks for writing this as you are able to word and echo how I am struggling in a similar way; YES a complex, absurd and heinous request of humanity.

I have just written a chapter about the fact we can no longer "fix" things. And how to manage this....mostly we need to sit in it, see it, accept it AND move forward with right action.
That’s beautiful , fixing things is too hard as life will always throw more at us , responding in the most right manner possible is the best we can do and all that can be expected 🙏🏼
I also feel the guilt of inaction and understand these feelings are hard to navigate alone if you can’t have discourse in your community.
On a personal level it has reminded me to live in my values, make a difference with my vote, allow the feelings of grief to overwhelm me when they need to, and then seek out forums like this.
I think there are some really interesting ideas around the trauma response in these comments and the way we all need to weave our own webs to cope.
I’ll definitely be listening to the podcast that Sarah has linked also.

Learning to live in the uncertainty and uncomfortableness; ironically, is what I am looking for as a ‘fix’
Not ironic at all...totally sane!
Yes, strange though; when sanity is felt and understood as irony!?!

♥️
yes agreed
the solace and thoughts (and community) here are so so useful and practical copeful web weaving as precious as it is imperative
I just listened to the link with Jess and Joanna (with headphones) and felt so much comfort and warm -heldness- that breathing actually become easier
I know this will be a "go-to" connect in ... the wisdom and love in that mature crone voice is a soothe
thanks Sarah for linking this link ... a million stars worth of thanks
