Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar

Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar

Hello to All Members

This is just a place where people can catch up with Henry and others,

ask or answer questions

have a 'chat and coffee',

an imaginary 'joy flight',

just 'hanging out in the hangar'

{cleaning, polishing and mechanical assistance always appreciated},

to talk about any subject that complies with guidelines, available here > Guidelines & Info <,

or whatever else we might consider appropriate and possible.

Everyone is Welcome.

With My Very Best Wishes

@HenryX

The following details are just for interest. Though I was not able to complete flying training, the most exhilarating experience I ever had, on my own, was my first solo training flight in a Cessna 172

Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum

I remember watching these beautiful planes {in other livery, paint and identification} landing on the Brisbane River when I was a boy. They looked like huge Pelicans as they glided down onto the river.

There was also a Catalina Flying Boat base

at Matilda Bay near the University of WA on the Swan River near Perth

Hello @Appleblossom and @Anastasia , @Former-Member , @Emelia8 , @Shaz51

and other visitors to this thread

@Appleblossom I appreciate and receive as encouraging, the sentiments that you have offered in your responses, as I do also, those offered by other members in the thread and on the forum.

We are, I believe, in agreement about the process of traveling the path while experiencing grief through all types of loss. But particularly with regard,

"to walk(ing) forward without feeling (that) I have dishonoured, or disowned the experience, or been dissociated.

Remaining at peace with ourselves, while honouring the memories of those with whom we can no longer engage in personal interaction.

One of my biggest concerns in life has been to protect my children, even if by my own absence, from some of the aspects of grief, as well as other issues, that I have experienced and with which I have endeavoured to cope in my life. As a result, I am now trying, without undue anxiety, to re-establish some of the connections, particularly with my children. I feel more free, now, to walk this path.

I also acknowledge the absence of appropriate therapeutic support at various stages, either because those support elements were non-existent, were in the process of development or simply overlooked in previous therapy in which I had been engaged.

One awareness, that I have, is that it is never too late to take a new, more updated and informed approach to any of the issues in my life. I welcome the opportunities to apply newer principles, of which I become aware, in and to my life.

With My Best Wishes to You and Other Visitors

Re: Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar

Feeling a little more relaxed. I live near a very small airport. I constantly hear the small planes fly by. The funny thing is, at approximately 2am I hear helicopters. Not sure why they are flying about at that time of the night. I'm a light sleeper. @HenryX

Re: Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar

Thanks @Former-Member I appreciate that. But there isnt really much to say. At present all I can think of is this:

My last memory of my husband is when he was cold and deathly pale in the hospital, after they let me back in to see him after they failed to revive him again. Cold, pale and his chest was red and covered in wounds from their long battle to resuscitate him for the third time. And prior to that are the memories as he lay on my Dads loungeroom floor where I had managed to drag him from the couch in my own attempts to apply CPR, while waiting for the ambulance. Then the ambos arriving and all the equipment laying around him as I handed over his care to them. I dont have many happy memories right now. I know I need to shift focus somehow, but its really hard. I have so many intrusive memories haunting me.
