My T said something very sweet to me quite a few months ago. When I think about those words, I cry. Yet, I find that I'm obsessed with them.
"I helped Minnie. I called 911 to get help in getting her up when she had fallen down in the bedroom. I helped her go to the bathroom at night. I kept her company and helped her to stay out of a nursing home for a little longer than if I'd not been there." This is not an exact quote. But, when I think about the idea that I helped Minnie, I cry sometimes. Does anyone else do that? I keep thinking the guilt is gone. But, if it were gone, then I probably wouldn't still cry at times when I hear/think words like these. How long does it take to get over guilt in relation to a death of a family member? (okey, you can't answer that one because it is different for every person.) Are any of you obsessed with any words that your T has said to you? I seem to crave her words like there chocolate or some really sweet food. Does anyone else seem to crave the words of their T like I do?
