Yeup, my latest idea for a book. If I could get past the great titles I'd have TONS of best selling books. Apparently, titles are my forte.
The idea came to me as I was chatting with a friend. Her daughter is having some significant health issues and she (my friend) was feeling overwhelmed and worn out. I'll call her "Denise" because "my neighbor" is too many letters. Denise was venting that she just couldn't take anymore and that she didn't want to raise five more children, she just wanted to be a Grandma. I had to lay some hard love on her.
It doesn't matter whether or not she thinks she can't take more, she has no choice. And, it doesn't matter what she wants, she's going to have to deal with whatever happens.
I have learned this the hard way, which brings me to my book idea. I was thinking that I've had so many lemons thrown at me that my poop should smell like shitrus. I also remembered how I had to learn all these things by myself: going through rough times, shouldering most the burden. Wouldn't it have been great to have somewhere or someone to go to for help...or an understanding shoulder to cry on. Somebody, who from experience, could say "It's going to be alright. You're going to get through this. Let me help you find a way to handle all this crap."
