Thank you for this. I need to sit with it much longer. But a dear friend I think is going through something like this now. She has been unable to function in this weird world. She had always turned story but is losing the words and is not “coming back” she is suffering and her parents are too who are trying everything they can to help her. But I have sensed this refusal to be sacred.

Thank you for your lovely comment, Dina. It’s sacred refusal, indeed. May your friend find rest and a different pace for herself.
