I Am Adding to My Suffering

A woman references the saying, ‘pain is inevitable, and suffering is optional’, saying that she can see how she converts her situation with her husband, who has dementia, into suffering, adding to it. Rupert suggests that the sorrow she inevitably feels as her husband slips away from her is a divine sorrow, not egoic; it is an appropriate expression that should not be avoided. Rupert suggests that she not be too hard on herself and relates how his mum has recently gone into a care facility because of memory loss. It is very difficult, and he has noticed irritation in himself.
