Conventional wisdom says that telling our stories of loss is integral to the healing process. That's part of the appeal of support groups, therapists. Confessionals.
On the other hand, focusing our energy on anything gives it power...as much as we are what we eat, we are also what we think, and what we say.
Conundrum.
So here's just a bit of my story. Like the valve on a pressure cooker, I'm letting the steam out so the whole thing doesn't explode and kill everyone. (ohmygod, relax, it's a figure of speech!)
Now it's time to walk away, so, I'm just going to take the pot off the flame, and that will be that.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what
you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon
as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high
a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
