Question: What events or situations have been the source of your greatest life losses and suffering? I really want to know as I want to engage with only those capable of true empathy lest my worst fear is made manifest: This loving joyous, optimistic girl becomes bitter stone.

Wrong diagnosis ended my father's life from a simple easily treatable illness. Big brother also passed from a simple easily treatable illness. Also wrongly diagnosed. Found out after they passed what the actual illnesses were - it was something a simple search could have shown.

TOO close to my bone marrow. I'm so sorry. I am 57 who has been bleeding her whole life. It took 50 years to get it right. Healthcare where? I feel this one deeply. I'm so sorry.

It bothered my mind for a long while but I have come to accept that we can't control everything. I live one day at a time, taking everything in and letting them pass.

I struggle with that a lot. Be proud of finding your way!

I hope you found yours too and thanks.
