Dear Margaret (Maggie)--while I enjoyed the spirit in your entire post, I
was especially touched by the things you said about the value of
writing--whether poetry or prose--about one's feelings. It is indeed
therapeutic, which may be why so many PWPs and CGs are writing verse! For
me, as CG who has
"always" written poetry, it has helped me cope with Peter's PD and the
losses that inevitably occur.
Journaling, too, is helpful--anything which helps us to explore, face, and
understand our feelings, and to know that they are part of the reality of
life with PD, nothing to avoid or be ashamed of !
Keep "pattering away !
