Welcome Spartyfan...This program has helped lots of people with driving here..If you do a post search and type in driving you may find others who have been through this too...
It's so good to hear from you and Congratulations. I don't post here much either anymore but I do still stop by and read posts from time to time. I am sure glad I didn't miss your post or blog. I loved reading all your good news.. I will make sure to check your blog when I stop by again. I left a comment on your blog for you to read next time you update your blog..As for me I have been very busy with my quilting and such and have really been enjoying myself and my life now...
I look forward to reading your next update in your blog..Talk to you again soon..
No this is not confusing..
I find it is easier said than done sometimes though..I wish it was that easy for me to do but I find that real forgiveness takes time. They say time heals all wounds...
I have been reading your posts and listening..I want let you to know that your posts are not confusing things for me here.
Actually I can relate to a lot of what you are saying..I have not been able to forgive people that have abused me and I am not sure if I ever will..One thing I do know is that the things that have been done to me still hurt me and are part of the reason I am the way I am..It has been easier for me now that they have passed on, but the pain is still there..Not all the time but it still does surface unexpectedly and affects my emotional state..I just wanted to let you know that I also have a hard time with my emotions...I have been working on the program in the depression center. It's one of the sister sites to this one and it is helping me to understand myself and my emotions better..I just wanted to let you know there is more help here on this site..I wasn't sure if you knew about the sister site or if you have taken a look at it yet..
It this a option that you might want to consider? If so you just might me see me over there bloging and such..
Welcome to the program and site..I have been working the program here without any professional therapy or medication for quite a while now..This program and the one in the sister site the depression center has helped me tremendously..My life is so much better now and I think yours can be too..This program and the one in the depression center gives you all the tools you need to start getting better..It does take time mind you and it my not happen over night but if you keep reading the program you will start to see very positive changes..I hope you give the program a try..You just might be pleasantly surprised at how well it works..I know I was..
I was reading your post tonight and wanted to let you know that my heart goes out to you..I have been a widow for 8 yrs. now and I still have grief for my late husband and the others I have lost. It has changed over the years but I still do think of them often especially during the holidays, Mothers day, Fathers day or their birthdays. Oct 31 was my husbands birthday.
He passed on Nov. 6, 2003, my father passed just before Thanksgiving and my mother on mothers day. It is hard not to miss them on these special days. This has been a hard month for me..
My partner I have now has gone to be with his dear friend and his friends father today..They are both very close friends of his. The one friend is on hospice death watch today and passed away this evening..When he gets home tonight we will cry together and talk and grieve the loss of another person we loved very much..
I think it is a very natural thing to miss the ones we have lost and I do not think we ever really get over it..I think the pain of the loss lessens with time. There is really no correct way to grief or time limit because we all grief in our own way and every loss and set of circumstances around each loss is unique to use as are the ones we lost..
Being a widow I do get afraid when I think of loosing my partner. I think this is because I have already lost a husband and that was the hardest loss for me..I do not think I could bear to loose my partner too..I would miss him dearly.
I have been doing what you have suggested in your post since the middle of October, that is limiting the amount of time I spend "connected" and it really has helped me a lot. I have been spending more time relaxing and freeing myself up from technologies and distractions..It really has made a world of difference for me. I also try to take what I need and leave the rest behind when dealing with information overload. Switching gears to something else has been very helpful too.
