  • Good Luck

    Oh no, deleted it all!!! I had a whole note written and all. I'll whine about that later. Anyway: I talked with my TFT friend. He'll be busy a week's time, but I did at least ask what the waves were about and answer goes: It's either many events, many distractions or doing it too short. A few more affirmations, and you'll come down with your distress. It is difficult doing it alone, especially when the sessions have lasted 2 hours. It could be that if you ask for a shorter session, you would be able to use the same amount of time at it at home. Emotional freedom will come. The "thoughtfields" will stabilize. I've got to see what other hugs I can send around to other friends lol - vacation is great and the sun is coming up. Family is playing yatzy and I need coffee. Chirp at you later! ~MM

  Loss of a Parent
My mother passed six months ago tomorrow after many long, lingering illnesses. I am 58, and she was 77, but age is not a factor in grief. I miss her horribly and find that grief is a strange animal, not at all what I expected. 
Treatments
 Crying (Working / Worked)
Crying pulls up a chair and sits down quite unexpectedly, and usually takes several minutes and then is over..until the next time.
 Grief Counseling (Working / Worked)
Have worked with my regular therapist.
 Prayer (Working / Worked)
God is a very present help in time of need. This is the best thing we can do.
 Psychotherapy (Working / Worked)
see grief counseling
 writing (Working / Worked)
Wrote a poem about my mother for her funeral, and submitted a short story about her final days to Chicken Soup for the Soul.
