it is amazing how quickly one can immerse themselves in an intense situation, weather it, then extract oneself from it just as quickly.
i have just skyped jane at 4pm new york time - she is out for lunch with a friend (isn't it a little late for that? haha) - a consolation for the loss of a visit from gilda i guess. the point being, she has been through this unbelievably consuming experience, causing anxiety, concern, bodily change, and has come through on the other side of it ... happy, relaxed, and looking lovely!
how do we as humans ride out these storms? we 'descend' into them, peering only into a vacuum which promises to suck us in whole - then endure an utter blur (transcending time, daily activities, anything beyond the scope of the task at hand) - and then suddenly it is 'behind' us.
of course, we still await treatment options for jane, and despite still being in the middle of all of this, she moves forward. work, kids, holidays - fully back in the swing of things.
isn't life grand?
