Hi Scarlet,

Thanks for asking.
My next art class isn't until the first week of August.
I went to another art group at the museum today, but it wasn't quite what I expected.

I called in all the support I could over the weekend to help with the anniversary of coming to understand the context of Steve's exit.

My contact at the helpline suggested some reflective writing, producing two different versions of my experience. One factual, one focusing on the feelings.

The factual piece was detached, but as I got into the feeling piece, I realised that I was crying.

Keeping the feelings at a distance makes the day to day 'easier', but I know what I need to do.

The question is really...do I have the courage to 'go there'?

RC explained how I can deepen the practice she shared with me and make it more specific.

I hope today is being kind to you.

Hugs,

Lost
