Dear Amrita, I am hounding you in my heart. It’s hard to endure the fires of that pain. I agree with Robin and Nan. We will be here rooting for you. It’s my experience that the poems will come-they are waiting til you can feel more ease 💗

Dear Amrita, My message is unfortunately delayed because I to have been dealing with my own issues with back pain and recently was hospitalized with a TIA. I am so sorry to learn you are experiencing debilitating nerve pain. I wish you peace and hope that your treatment brings relief and you are able to resume writing poetry. I will continue to hold you in my heart with blessings for a meaningful recovery. Much Love, Zubin

Thank you Zubin! I'm so sorry for your health problems! By the way, in the future, could you please type letters to me (if and when you are up to it). I had a very difficult time trying to decipher your handwriting!!

much love,

Amrita

Dear Amrita,

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Your words make it easy to imagine how relentless this pain has been.

Reading your note reminded me that perhaps pain never truly leaves any of us—it only wears different faces from one life to another. But some days, like the ones you're facing now, it asks far too much.

I hope the next treatment brings real relief and, with it, the quiet return of your poems.

Wishing you strength, comfort, and gentler days ahead.

I’m sorry. It’s so hard to remember that “this too will pass” but it will. Blessings, love, light and healing upon you.

I only recently met you, but I feel sympathy for the spinal pain. I have had it, too. I had radio ablation, which does work. Lots of waiting between MD meetings.

Amrita Skye Blaine's avatar

I am now considering ablation. Would you email me at amritaskyepoetry at gmail dot com so we can discuss your experience, Mare? I would be deeply grateful.
