At least, more softly than before. Things have calmed down a lot since my final EMDR. The first couple of day's after, I couldn't get my head on straight and I couldn't stop crying. Now I'm feeling a bit stronger and feeling more acceptance. My T say's I'm experiencing delayed grief. I found a helpful article about grief work so I started doing some journalling today. I'm also thinking about some ideas of how I can honor my Dad's memory.
A lot of good has come out of this, actually. The fact that I can even see that is a blessing in itself. And what a blessing indeed to finally have a connection with my Dad. It's the best Christmas gift a girl could get.
The session with my T was awfully difficult, but has turned out to be well worth it and I am grateful he could see me one last time.
Thanks to everyone who supported me when I really really needed it. I appreciate it very much.Memory
