DSF, the wife of one of my patients cried for days after they sold her car.....she could in no form or fashion drive......but it was "her link" to the good days.........

there was a huge snake eating the bird eggs, around the farmhouse, and i caught it and took it away. she cried over that "because i used to be able to take care of things".......yes, it is a cessation of the ordinary, the expected, the usual and the valuable events in their lives that hurt so very much.
