I need your advice.
I have severe fear of visiting my Mother at her grave. I haven't been able to bring myself to go. Although loving at times, my relationship with her was mostly painful due to abandonment.
I'm afraid the massive pain I'll feel at her grave will cripple me, but I want to see her so badly. I miss her.
It would be so nice if I could take her a beautiful bouquet of flowers, her favorite foods, and play her favorite music while I just spend some time with her. I know this would make her very happy. I have forgiven her and I love my Mom, but I'm so afraid.
I think that I could go if my therapist went with me, and of course I would pay him for his time.
I know I should talk to him, but do you think this is an unreasonable request to a therapist? I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks.
