Sadness is often mistakenly confused with depression. Unlike depression, sadness is a natural part of life and is usually connected with certain experiences of pain or loss or even a meaningful moment of connection or joy that makes us value our lives. Depression, on the other hand, can arise without a clear explanation or can result from an unhealthy, non-adaptive reaction to a painful event, where we either steel ourselves against our natural reaction to the event or get overwhelmed by it.

What can one do?
“My love, were it in my power, I would sadly grant thee this boon. But, we have to continue to follow His Plan for us. Let’s go forth and speak no more of this. Who ever is last will be last. It will be His choice; not ours. We’re but humble custodians of His temple on earth. It’s not our place to trump His plan. Whatever that plan be, know that I will be with you to my last breath.” — character “John” in CHURCH 10●19●62 Volume 2 Page 399

Today’s a sad day for me. Interesting that this flowed into my email today. I always wondered what rare blood disease that took her from us. Hopefully, someday someone else will not have to go through it.

She followed them wistfully. I assume imagining what might have been.

Donated a double yesterday. That brings my total to 109.
In chatting with the nurses, they said “thanks because we are really short of platelets”.
Remember it is the “gift of life”.
