You cry


And I can do nothing


To make this hurt go away


So your sadness sits


Weighing heavy on the soul


Of me


And I cry

Apt lines on one's helplessness in being unable to help alleviate the sufferings of a beloved kin. I can relate to this feeling Karen. May God bless both of you.

Sincerely,

Much healing energy to you and your sister, cry darling, it is a release of negative energy and only you can clear this from your heart. Think of your tears as cleansing and clearing your body in order to prepare you for the positive energy you will be receiving. Now breathe in and take in white healing light, and blow out all the negative energy deep inside of you. Imagine feeling like you can do no wrong, and now get on with life and help your sister by being strong and confident and show her that you will be okay no matter what.. She needs to see you strong and able to cope, sweetie it's really important to her to know that you will be okay. Much, much love, light and peace to you dear friend,

Sad write, I have been through this with both parents many times. Being there is the best thing you can do, it helps more than you know.

Like a boomerang is the unhappiness within this poignant piece of literary work . . . Helplessness abound within the simple words, with not so simple solution . . . This is a sadness which sucks the reader in totally . . .

Being unable to help - to do SOMETHING - got to be the worst emotion we endure. So sad, Karen, but very powerful words. Share your pain with us and our prayers might just be heard.
Blessings to you and sis.
With Love,
