Hi R,

Today's session was odd. I felt so embarrassed that I couldn't finish the poem. This is my life, and as such I should be able to handle it. Went to the supermarket a couple of hours afterwards, and bumped into a friend. Conversation turns to the death of her brother...she was the nurse on duty at the time. 'When I heard the cardiac bell go, I knew who it was for...'

I was climbing the walls. Too similar to those long nights, wondering whether she would survive or not. 'The human body can only take so much'...and still I recall everything about those experiences as though they were yesterday.

Help me draw the poison out, please...
