What if mom has no compassion to share?

By Lynne Cory

What if she has spent her life in service to her family and would like some compassion and acknowledgment for her efforts but gets nothing in return?  What if the only one that she can be sure will give her love and compassion is herself?  What if once she nurtures and loves herself, it will be easier to receive it from others?  What if It will take time to create this new behavior?
