Hi Cass,
You sound so very much better.
That must have been awful to have not only the huge grief about your dear husband, but all those other griefs piled on top.
Reminds me a lot of not too long ago, as a result of reading a 'print-out' from my Group Therapist, I was 'feeling' my feelings right when they happened....identifying them with a word like "Oh, this is anger." or "ok - this is sadness".
When I was first doing it, I'd experience the feeling & usually within a minute, it would dissolve.
But then, with the sadness, it became HUGE & as you described, was not only the current thing, but ALL those other things from various times in my life. I 'took it to' Group Therapy & the therapist helped me immensely to break it down from one enormous boulder of sadness, to small sadness stones! She is so very skilled. She did a visualization with me on it. I suspect I already described it either here or on Psychology board. If you want to hear it, just ask. However, it sounds like you're really benefitting from the work you're doing.I send my love, Kath
