My definition of Support
is something you get from another, whether it is through materials, financial
or emotionally. It can come from another adult, a child or even a pet. Support from
others help you feel loved, needed and helps you get the job done –when you may
be tired or feeling low, which everyone needs constantly.
Some say they do not
need anyone but I know this is not true. One major thing that I know helps me
feel supported comes from the communication that I have with my families. It can
be with my husband or with my children, which keeps me going daily. Being able
to conversate with others is a wonderful thing. Without other people, whether
on the job or at home, I feel I would be a lonely, bitter woman.
If I
had to pick something that would be challenging to deal with on a daily basis, I
would pick not being able to walk (no limbs). I do feel that I would be able to
get the services and the help that I would need to maintain. The extra help
would make life a bit easier but I would probably feel depressed at times. So,
yes I would need family and friends to provide a positive support system. If I did
not have a support system, each day would definitely be a hard road to travel
alone. Each and every one of us –as humans need others in our lives.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I believe that communication is the best way we can be supportive. I am a talker too! I think today face-to-face communication is really suffering due to texting and emails. Hopefully, we will get back to using face-to-face communications soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. Having positive emotional support is the best support you can receive. I cannot imagine having no limbs, however I know I would be uplifted by positive emotional support, and the support from my family. Support in general would bring me back to my feet to live another day. We are given challenges to make us stronger people.

I agree that relationships are so important to have with others. I too would be a lonely and bitter women if I did not have people in my life. It sure would be a challenge not to be able to walk. I enjoy walking for exercise and as a way to distress. It would be hard for many reasons but I would miss it also for the peace it brings to me. This reminds me of a friend who had surgery on her right foot and was in a cast for 3 months. She became very depressed because she could not be as independent as she was before the surgery. She is doing better but it was an eye opener and a learning experience for her and me.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. I think that sometimes I feel that I think I have hard challenges in my life until I really think of what challenges i could face. After reading your post I thought about challenges that would truly affect my life on a daily bases. Wow, what a reality check. Thanks for your insight. Tish
ReplyDeleteHello Nakits,
ReplyDeleteGreat Post! I think a lot times people say they do not need anybody because they have been hurt by people in the past. We have to learn how to forgive and move on. Until we get to the point where we can do this their are other things that we can use as support, like you stated, a pet.
