Thanks again for all the compassionate responses.
poetgirl: Reality is hard! I know you understand. I'm learning how to grieve.

gaia: thank you!

ECHOES: I just write what I feel. Thank you!

sweetlove: I'm sorry about your Dad. It's hard!

inbloom: you explained it perfectly. Why do we want to grieve for our Ts and NOT for the person we should be grieving for? To protect ourself from pain?

MUE: Yes, I hate that T is T but it's comforting at the same time.

improving: I emailed T today too. I already wrote a letter "to" my Mom, not a poem, and emailed it to T. I didn't write anything I hadn't told her in the session, but it was "to" my Mom, so it was kind of a release or something. T will email me back once, maybe tomorrow or Friday. She'll probably say I'm working hard, or something like that.

PTSD: Thank you!
