For me, it's very intense. I don't know why...is there a bell curve of transference intensity in relation to perceived losses? And also, does maternal transference ever lessen? We have been talking about it a little more lately. We have talked about it before, too. It's not a secret. But sometimes it's so intense that it physically aches. I wonder when it will start to decrease. Will I always think of her in such a maternal way?
