Voluptuous veggie restaurants are usually good for relaxing. Not today. A Chinese-looking lady, sitting alone nearby, frowned in obvious despair. "Are you OK?" I asked quietly. She looked at me for a few seconds, then...
"Waaaahhh." Tears flowed down her cheeks like two waterfalls.
I moved to her table, and placed a healing hand on her shoulder, to release her obvious suffering.
Eventually she blurted her problems.
"I'm from Malaysia - no friends here - no family in Malaysia - only lived for wonderful husband - wonderful husband only lived for me - we couldn't have children - we had wonderful life - then he was ill for years - I cared for him, only me by myself - he died this year - now I've nothing, no friends, no family - no life - I can't believe in God now - there's nothing to live for - he's in spirit - I won't let him move on - I just want to be with him - I'll kill myself to see him."
And so she continued for an hour... As a Samaritan, suicidal people phoned me with many such stories. It's a "normal" drama on Earth. Death of "the only loved one" leaves loneliness and despair. There are countless such cases. Some live near you...
I used Samaritan method to release her emotion. She sobbed again, but when she stopped, her frown stopped too.
Before finishing my (cold) veggie lunch, I gave her a few techniques, and phone numbers for support. It might help...
It's tough to heal severe grief. Even with good friends and family the grief process can last years. How much tougher then for this lonely lady? How many years will she suffer, without any friend at all?
Only a thought but... Maybe it's easier for long-term cases of despair to "move themselves on" to the next life, and start again? Unless they find a friend who lives near...
