It wasn't like I had to force them out, ya know? It's like the opposite--they're just leaking out and coming at me when I don't want them. At this session, I tried to make them go away and they insisted on hogging the show. I do often have patience with them and let them have their time, but on this occasion I was feeling tired of it all, like "enough is enough", be done grieving already! I felt helpless because the sadness can make me speechless, and I sit there and can't talk because I am so sad. But I think there's no hurrying this process, as I think you have all tried to tell me. Ya just got to sit back for the long haul and not stress about how many layers there are, and if you're sad, then be sad. (Sunny, are you taking notes?)

Here is what I did for me today: I went to our legal meeting, we made lots of progress, and I think we are one meeting away from finishing this whole thing up!
