Daily Question, December 11

When have you loved really well?

  • Patricia

    When I loved my mom enough to let her go – out of her suffering and into the arms of God.

  • Trish

    I loved really well during my friend’s most devastating period after the death of his wife. We communicated by phone, text, cards & in person. Sometimes we hiked, cooked, camped & laid under the stars. He howled in pain, he explored his feelings and I was there. I was just there…..

    I agree with Michelle.. I have found and been in love with several women in my life. For various reasons, things did not pan out but I must admit that the ending of each love relationship was difficult because in one way or another I still care and have feelings because of the memories. I am presently in love with my wife of 20 years but I do know that both of us are not always at our parents best with each other. But the love we have keeps us strong. I am trying to not let my actions create dou...

    I agree with Michelle.. I have found and been in love with several women in my life. For various reasons, things did not pan out but I must admit that the ending of each love relationship was difficult because in one way or another I still care and have feelings because of the memories. I am presently in love with my wife of 20 years but I do know that both of us are not always at our parents best with each other. But the love we have keeps us strong. I am trying to not let my actions create doubt of love. With this pandemic, all the negativity surrounding it and the reactions I see or read by others is stressful at times. And this negativity is sometimes dragging me into it. I must try to avoid focusing on the news, and concentrate more on the positives

    Now, and for the past several years of my life. The inner work I've done the past several years has allowed me to find love without limits. Love with full trust and no weird codependency issues like I had in the past. The connection I have with my fiance is something I never dreamed was possible. And my relationships otherwise have grown deeper because of my healing. The love I share with my parents, my siblings, and my closest friends is really wonderful. My heart feels full and bright just thi...

    Now, and for the past several years of my life. The inner work I’ve done the past several years has allowed me to find love without limits. Love with full trust and no weird codependency issues like I had in the past. The connection I have with my fiance is something I never dreamed was possible. And my relationships otherwise have grown deeper because of my healing. The love I share with my parents, my siblings, and my closest friends is really wonderful. My heart feels full and bright just thinking about it!

    Well now, if you really want to know, back in a day they used to line up for my rockin hot lovin!

    (Sorry friends, today’s question just struck me as funny and I decided to have some fun with it!)

    • Mica

      Ah, yes – the things we did in California in the ’70’s! [Maybe I should delete that…]

  • Michele

    In each of my relationships I have loved really well. I am ready to love again with a ‘dessert-phase partner’ (♥Dusty Su)

    • Trish

      I love that phrase too! Extra whipped cream, please😋

    When it was possible to forgive and to open up to the love which was blocked to flow but, nevertheless, was always present towards my mother. I am forever grateful for the help to find way to it. It made her leaving this world a time of inner peace and compassion for both of us. The deep love towards my dear friends makes my heart overflow sometimes. Since I can remember, something inside of me responds to the suffering of the ones I encounter and wants to be of help, if possible. I guess this i...

    When it was possible to forgive and to open up to the love which was blocked to flow but, nevertheless, was always present towards my mother. I am forever grateful for the help to find way to it. It made her leaving this world a time of inner peace and compassion for both of us. The deep love towards my dear friends makes my heart overflow sometimes. Since I can remember, something inside of me responds to the suffering of the ones I encounter and wants to be of help, if possible. I guess this is another kind of “loving really well”. And, although the presence of animals in my life have been rare, I still feel deep love towards the cat and her young who stayed when I was a child.

    First crush, in high school. Knowing that the object of my obsession was way out of my league so I was taught how to love unconditionally, expecting nothing in return. And then in all of the intentional communities that I have lived, truly deeply working the actionable sides of love. With all the attendant nuances of reward and deepened bonds. I suppose all these examples I am sharing have some common trait: love for the sake of love alone.
