Fascinating read Jen. Indeed, many of our most worthwhile endeavours are hard, maybe even upsetting, but fulfil our obligation to others. Reminds me of the forensic medical work I did with maltreated children - people would say “why do that, I couldn’t”, and I’d say that I chose to be a pediatrician and therefore have an obligation to work for those in the most strife. Not easy, often upsetting, but satisfies my duty to the Echidna.
So, know that you have my admiration for showing up, and don’t underestimate the impact on those at a nadir.
