Sundi wrote: How wonderful that this woman knew (instinctively? ) that to give small acts of kindness to others in her own hour of need would fill a need in herself as well (at least i assume so). Such a wonderful gift to be able to step outside yourself and give when you yourself are suffering. Thank you for sharing this story.

Wildstar wrote: It is true, what jagdish kaviraj commented. By helping someone else when you yourself are ill or hurting, it takes your mind off what is wrong with you, even if it's only for a short time. Also it makes you feel better about yourself. So the blessing of the help given is returned to the giver even as they are giving it.
I've tried to do this in my own life, but i don't know that i would have the courage this woman did, to do in such extremity. I would hope i would, so at least the intention is there.
Thank you for the beautiful comments,jagdish, and thank you, writingmomma, for posting about this wonderful woman. She's someone i wish i could have met.

Jagdish Kaviraj wrote: Suppose we are ill, what we would like or expect? Certainly we would like to be treated well. We would also like that some body attends us well and some one comes to share time to break monotony. Unfortunately, what we want for ourselves, we do not do usually for others. I think this is one of the reasons for great suffering in the universe.
When one is suffering in silence his/her anguish can be reduced to some extent with kind words and by giving personal attention to him/her.
When one does small intervention like the lady under reference, the patient forgets his/her illness for a while and his attention is diverted to some thing else. This gives some relief to the sufferer. Such help is like a blow of cold wind on a hot day. When we are helping some one actually we are serving god residing in him. This is the best way to please god.
Kindness is a divine virtue. If we are kind to others, normally others would also kindly to us. If we help others, according to natures law some will come and extend helping hand when we would be in distress.
Good deeds done by us follow us like shadow and save us from untoward happenings. We should see to it that there should be an ample balance of “good deeds’ in our "good deeds bank account. "
