"There is a song written by Billie Holliday, "Good Morning, Heartache." She captures, in a song grieving the loss of love, the desire to avoid the pain and the impossibility of eluding it. "Stop haunting me now, can't take it no how. Just leave me alone. I got those Monday blues, straight through Sunday blues," she starts. And then she capitulates to it: "Might as well get used to you hangin' around, good morning, heartache, sit down." Pull up a chair.
Elizabeth Edwards in her book Resilience
and she goes on to say that she pulled up a chair, in front of the computer and talked to people all over the world..at any time of the day or night, someone was there, also needing to talk.

We should never underestimate the power of one to extend the understanding, and the ears to listen.
