2、years of each other. From my personal experience, I believe that we arent 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 , possibly bring comfort to , someone else who may be going through a
3、 similar experience.Six months after my husband died, I was sinking in the quicksand of grief, I could not pull myself out of the misery.In that moment, I actually believe that my life was more difficult than anyone else around me. Life handed me a perfectly wrapped lesson that opened my eyes to the
4、 fact that through my suffering I had allowed myself to become blinded by my self-pity.The lesson presented itself in a health crisis. I had complication from a surgical procedure and ended up being hospitalized for four days. I was in a extreme amount of pain during this time. Between the physical

As a nurse, it is hard to be on the receiving end of grief end of medical as the patient.The first three nights that I was in hospital, the same nurse took care of me. She was young, may

How hard is it to ask your patient how shes feeling？I wrote her off as a bad nurse who had little empat

I told her that I was struggling with depression and grief because my husband had died in an airplane accident.She looked at me and
8、told me that her husband had died too, just two months earlier. I was stunned. Speechless. Shocked.Never, in any of the possibilities that my mind entertained of why this nurse was so stand-offish with me, did I even consider that she might be in the same pain I was. Not only was she grieving as I w
9、as, but she was having to take care of me, instead of caring for herself and her family.We went on to talk and share our stories about our late husbands and children. I like to think that we helped each other a bit that night.We had much more in common than I would have believed. We were both widowe

She was working paycheck to support her boys. I was humbled. I realized how much I had to be grateful for. And, frankly, I never saw lif

I had always prided myself on being an empathetic person, but I realized now that I had not really understood what being empathetic meant.To truly be empathetic, you must be able to see beyond your own pain to be
12、witness to the pain. I never looked at another person in the same way after this experience.The cashier checking me out at the grocery store who seemed rude and in a hurry？ Who knows what was going in his day, week, life? Maybe he recently lost a spouse or a child. Maybe he has experienced compounde

14、e the time to kind. Even when youre suffering with your own pain. And dont assume that someone else has it easier than you. You never know the battles someone else is fighting.翻译：学会理解别人的痛苦和挣扎我们都听过这句话：“要善良，因为你遇到的每个人都在经历某种痛苦。”我的丈夫和儿子在两年内相继去世。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，以至于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
15、无法给予他们安慰。我丈夫去世的六个月，我陷入悲痛不能自拔，无法从不行的阴影中走出来。那时，我真的认为我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：顾影自怜是我看不到别人，只看到自己。我在健康出现问题时得到了这个教训。我的外科手术引起了并发症，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家在中间，我的生活一团糟。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钟事。 住院的前三个晚上是同一个护士护理我。他挺年轻可能快30岁。她头两个晚上几乎不怎么说跟我说话，除了定期来给我送药。很明显她不知道我精神上有多
16、痛苦。问问你的病人感觉怎么样有多难？我认定他是不合格的护士，缺乏同情心，而我依然沉浸在自己精神和身体的痛苦中。第三天晚上，这个年轻的护士开始打开话匣子，她问我感觉怎样（终于问了！）。我告诉他我挣扎于沮丧和痛苦之中，因为我丈夫死于一场飞机事故。他看着我，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，我被惊到了！我从未想过她对我如此冷淡会是这个，我甚至都没有想过她可能会有同样的痛苦。她不仅和我一样悲痛，而且还要照顾我，而不是照顾她自己和家人。我们继续讨论并分享了我们丈夫和孩子的事，我觉得我们那天晚上都给了彼此一点帮助。我们之间的共同点比我想的要多，我们的丈夫都去世了，我们都成了单亲妈
17、妈，孩子都还小，而且都是护士。但也就这些了，她丈夫没有保险，家里经济来源很少，他就靠一点工资养活家里的男孩儿们。我觉得自愧不如，我意识到自己该有多知足。坦白说，这次经历改变了我对生活的看法。这次的经济改变了我的生活。之前我总是以自己的同情心为傲，但现在我意识到了我根本没有理解同情的真谛。杂货店的收银员结账时有些粗鲁，好像还很急？谁知道他今天、或者这周、或者这一生发生了什么呢？可能他最近失去了爱人或孩子，可能他蒙受了很多损失，我无法知晓他经历了什么。我是谁呀，怎么能去评判他呢？有些事情我要感谢死亡，它教会了我同情身边人，使我知道我们都经受着某种痛苦，而有些是别人看不到的。这些都是死亡馈赠给我的，
18、我会永远心存感激。你一定要花时间去践行善行，甚至在你自己遭受痛苦的时候也要如此。不要假定别人的生活比你更容易，你永远不会知道别人正在挣扎着什么。 课前预习：翻译：（1）Not only was she grieving as I was, but she was having to take care of me, instead of caring for herself and her family. （2）I had always prided myself on being an empathetic person, but I realized now that I had not

25、。经历过独自旅行的起起伏伏，无论人生途中有何坎坷，都可以自我恢复。一个人旅行教了我很多有关人际关系的处理，促使我走出自己的舒适区。确实，有些地方的安全问题是要考虑的，同他人共享美景往往也令人愉悦。但不要低估独自旅行的荣光，因为你能学到别处学不到的东西。但如果你内心是个探险家，那么一个人独自旅行是看这个世界绝佳的方法。 独自一人也可能很骇人，尤其你若是一个女孩子，独自一人去世界遥远的角落不免担心安全问题。依靠自己是你存在的核心。我们慢慢“长大”，“说走就走”变得越来越不可行。工作安全感、人际关系和房屋租金等真切存在的理由替代了我们曾经“快乐度日、得过且过”的思维方式。一个人旅行，你会变得更开明、更愿意结交朋友、更乐于和别人分享一路的游历体验，这会体现在你的行为中，也会写在你的脸上。具讽刺意味的是，独自旅行时你很少真正独处。你身旁总会有一个空位，无论你在飞机、火车还是公交车上，有时还会带你开启一场你不曾期待的冒险。9
