A Healthy Love

Ms Abby, a widow, stays with her daughter and son-in-law. She felt very lonely when her daughter and son-in-law could not spend time with her. She would look forward for them to return from work, hoping they could accompany her to watch television or chat with her. But most of the time, they would be so tired after work that they would go into their own bedroom to rest, leaving her alone. She would also cook dinner for them so that they could eat with her. But sometimes, they would choose to have their dinner outside before returning home.

Ms Abby could understand they would be tired after a whole day work, and that they would like to enjoy their couple life together, but she could not help herself feeling lonely. Though Ms Abby had an active social life with many friends, she still wished her family would have more time for her.

Chicory was recommended for Ms Abby as she loved to be closed with her loved ones and she would feel lonely, hurt and disappointed if they could not spend more time with her. Chicory would help her love selflessly and unconditionally without expectation for anything in return. This would make her feel happier and more loved as a result. 

Three weeks later, Ms Abby updated that her moods had become better. She had somehow become happier even though her daughter and son-in-law were still as busy and not able to spend much time with her as before. She would no longer feel lonely, hurt and disappointed if they could not spend more time with her. Instead, the little time spent with them had become quality time together and she enjoyed it greatly. She could not express in words how her love for them had changed too, but she felt different, as though her heart had become bigger. She said that the love was more for them, rather of her love to them. She expressed her surprise that so much change in her outlook could be observed within a short three weeks. I explained to her that some emotional imbalances could be resolved within a short time while some would take longer, and the effects differ in every individual.

I could fully understand what Ms Abby meant, because what she had described was unconditional love, and this is what Chicory is for. Chicory helped her to love selflessly in care and concern for others.
