：学会理解别人的痛苦和挣扎


We've all heard the quote, 'Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard
battle.'

我们都听过这句话：“要善良，因为你遇到的每个人都在经历某种痛苦。”

My husband and son died within two years of each other. From my personal
experience, I believe that if we aren't careful, grief can become a rather
self-involved process in which we can become so focused on our own suffering that
we miss the opportunity to connect with, and possibly bring comfort to, someone
else who may be going through a similar experience.

我的丈夫和 儿子两年内相继去世。从我的个人经验来看，我相信我们一不小心就会被
伤痛左右，以自己为中心，我们 会变得过于关注自己的痛苦，而错失和正经历相似痛苦的人
接触的机会，也无法给予他们安慰。

Six months after my husband died, I was sinking in the quicksand of grief. I
could not pull myself out of the misery.

那时，我真的认为自己 的生活要比身边任何人都不容易。生活给我上了完美的一课，
通过这次不幸我认清了一个事实：顾影自怜 使我看不到别人，只看到自己。

In that moment, I actually believed that my life was more difficult than anyone
else around me. Life handed me a perfectly wrapped lesson that opened my eyes to
the fact that through my suffering I had allowed myself to become blinded by my
self- pity.

我在健康出现问题时吸取了这个教训。我的外科手术引发了并发症，最终住院4 天。
那段时期我极其痛苦，身体的疼痛和精神上的伤痛把我夹在中间，我的生活一团糟。

The lesson presented itself in a health crisis. I had complications from a surgical
procedure and ended up being hospitalized for four days. I was in an extreme
amount of pain during this time. Between the physical pain and the emotional pain
of grief, I was an absolute mess.

我也应该告诉你我是一名注册护士。对护士而言，很难接受自己成为病人并进行 药物
治疗这种事。

I should also tell you that I am a Registered Nurse. As a nurse, it is hard to be on
the receiving end of medicine as the patient.

住院的前三个晚上同一位护士护理我。她挺年轻，可能快30岁。头两个 晚上几乎不怎
么跟我说话，除了定期来给我送药。很明显她不知道我精神上有多痛苦。问问你的病人感觉
怎么样能有多难？我认定她是不合格的护士，缺乏同情心，而且我依然沉浸在自己精神和身
体的 痛苦中。

The first three nights that I was in the hospital, the same nurse took care of me.
She was young, maybe in her mid to late 20s, and she hardly interacted with me at
all the first two nights, other than to give my medications as scheduled. She
obviously had no idea how much emotional pain I was in. How hard is it to ask your
patient how she's feeling? I wrote her off as a bad nurse who had little empathy, and
remained absorbed in my own emotional and physical pain.

第三天晚上这个年轻的护士 开始打开了话匣子，她问我感觉怎样（终于问了！）。我
告诉她我正挣扎于沮丧和痛苦之中，因为我丈夫 死于一场飞机事故。

The third night the young nurse was a little more talkative. She asked me how I
was feeling (finally!). I told her that I was struggling with depression and grief
because my husband had died in an airplane accident.

她看着我，跟我说她丈夫就在两个月前刚刚去世。我有点不知所措，说不出话，我被
