Today in sort of weird session moments, I was talking about something with ex-MC and his wife dying. That I was trying to remember when she died, in connection to something else that happened.
Dr. T: "Oh, I went to her funeral, I can look up the date on my phone."
Me: "Uh...OK."
He pulled it up quickly. He also used her first name a couple times in talking about her. He used to work with ex-MC (before I knew either of them), so I'm not at all surprised that he attended the funeral or would refer to her by name. Just wasn't expecting him to search his phone calendar to find the date.
We did have a good discussion about some things related to that. I feel like I'm in a place that's distanced enough time- and emotion-wise where I can process some of what happened in a different way, more productively. Which is part of why I'm talking about it in there now (also due to working on the memoir).
