When one talks about suffering, it is often about personal experience. How does one describe the suffering endured through loving and caring for another person? Is it suffering or should it deserve a better name. Tenacity? A determined purposeful way of living for the care of another?
I came across a caregiver who looked after her spouse for a decade after he retired and suffered a stroke. That meant having to single handedly support two schooling children. in addition to daily care for the spouse.
The spouse has since passed on. Yet, their home is clean and welcoming and I could not help but compliment her on this even though it might have seemed unusual. There was something dignified about how the place was well maintained as a home.
