Great reminder that also with suffering comes all the things that help it not just be suffering. In hard times we are reminded of the people and the presence that supports us.

I wonder if there are times instead of asking "take this suffering away from me", we can ask "sit with me through it".

I love this! It also adds a bit of acceptance that suffering is human and normal. A really great take away from the perspective you must’ve done something wrong to have gotten here

Sort of the "Job effect". I am suffering because I must have done something wrong. Places a lot guilt and blame on oneself. Sometimes it's just that we live in an imperfect world.
