Dr. Wright:
So what you want to do is: “This is where I am; this is what we’re doing.” And ask directly for what is needed in the moment, and that moment will pass. Maybe you’ll need someone to drive you somewhere or to take care of certain things. That moment will pass. Don’t go into, “If I ask now, I am going to be a burden forever.” This is impermanent, and it’s a process. So engage in the process with those you love.
