Re: Relief from suffering

At least you are honest about your own feelings @Happyness

There are heaps of people who are not.

Re: Relief from suffering

I hope the next anniversary has dignity too.

In my life, I have noticed many people ridiculed for going on long rants, so I tried to be very circumspect with my own. Mostly I have been in the passive listener role, especially pre-uni days. The worst offender was an early very nasty boyfriend (16-20). I hope you dont mind if my reply is a little longer than your opener.

I now consciously approach my closest anniversaries, mark them privately in a way that is relevant to me, and can let them go. I have small photos in my piano studio of all the individuals. Yesterday someone visited and I could point to the photos mention their names and cause of death without getting triggered.

A life and a death is more than a private event ... it is public and we will never know all the consequences of a loss.

A big healing though was the posting of their anniversaries in a book on public display in a city church that had also witnessed my tears on the sanctuary on many occasion. Singing there anchored me and kept me alive long enough for new information to become readily available. Information that was necessary to understand the causes of their MI and their deaths ...

Lovely to hear from you. @Happyness

No don't BE DOWN ON YOURSELF. Be proud of ANGER. Anger is an emotion.

When I was numb when I broke with the PTSD. It was NUMB, I was IN no where land. And I pulled myself out because one thought came into my head JUST one thought so I set about to do an action - I pretended strong. THEN IN pretending ONE DAY I got angry..

Angry WAS an EMOTON. I was not capable of complex thought tgen so it mulled around in my head for some tine until I dissected itz it IS all in the language. It was E MOTION. It meant I WAS in motion. That meant I was alive. That meant maybe I was supposed to BE alive.

Do not be "not proud of yourself" OVER anger. It is just a step in your grieving. You MUST GO through all the stages of grief you can not do only one or two or 3.

My mum was an Angel, I swear, and you know what? I went through anger top..
"Why DID YOU LEAVE ME!?? Why? And WHY NOW MUM, why? In the middle of these court cases, your voice a welcome relief. SUCH kind words & of love, and it's GONE? YOU left me? How COULD YOU DO THAT?
Betrayal, ALONENESS; an ORPHAN, ( I have 2 sisters & a dad BUT no one consoled me. They wallowed in their grief & tarred me like shit.. Etc.

Yeah ANGER IS a base emotion you might call it NEGATIVE, but no emotion IS negative. No EMITION is negative.

EVEN depression. It is a state of quiet withdrawal from others. The soul if split in many pieces. It is YOUR SOUL, your higher self that KNOWS better. But you are pulled left & right and every bastard HAS an opinion.

We too often are so distracted by WHITE NOISE vying for our attention, the news, TV & sport and the NEED to look like Barbie.

The body's natural state is homeostatis. It's level, smooth NO ups nor downs ITS BALANCED.'
Can you give yourself permission to BE ANGRY? Honour the fact that you have anger inside. Sit quietly NO TV or other electronic stuff going in the room? M

You are allowed to talk to thr loved one and tell him/her that you love them, but right now you are so GOD DAMN ANGRY AT THEM
FOR LEAVING YOU, or for slipping. Or on that train ride and died away from home or it may be they were abusive it stole your childhood? I don't know which.

It's SO OKAY TO BE HUMAN & show human emotions.

When I said BE VOLNERABLE, I meant BE totally naked and RAW with yourself. That's AUTHENTICITY. Be honest.

Find the part in your body where the anger is. Where is it? Is it in your tummy or chest or head? FEEL IT. Let your feelings EXPRESS anger, And cry if you wish. I cried buckets of tears. I kept crying. It's vulnerable because the "fashion" or that STIFF UPPER LIP of British peoples DEMANDS we hold it within. AND I pray PLEASE no mother IN her 40's or 50's HAS EVER TOLD A MALE CHILD not to cry. "Men don't cry. Be brave BE A MAN"??

I hope NOT. For those should BE burned at a stake.

We ARE humans and IF we are not allowed to cry openly? Then we are turning COLD as a NARCISSITIC SOCIOPATH.

When you cry you let go of thr pain of feeling ANGER. Anger isn't the enemy. I think once you CRY IT ALL OUT you will find underneath is HURT

We default to anger because it's much more "cool" or "mucho" or waft ever,??

No ANGER is either you are hurt by an action and usually it's YOUSEIF you see ANGRY ABOUT because you didn't fix it sooner

So THIS IS JUST ANOTHER LEARNING LESSON. It's what we call EXPERIENCE.

So ASK YOURSELF what it this teaching me. We get so stuck in the perception that ANGER is negative .. But forget it came along to teach us a valuable lesson.

The lesson ONLY IS TAUGHT if you ask YOUSELF what is it teaching mE.

The ANSERS aren't outside OF you LOOK WITHIN.

All thr answeres are yours. For IF YOU SAW something IS WRONG, or just NOT right. THEN YOU MUST know the answer.

Simple. SEE?

It's EASY,

and remember ONCE you learn THIS LESSON? The teacher IS NOT GONNA have to teach it to you again IS SHE?

Nope. You move UP one class.

Re: Relief from suffering

You have to make the stand that is right for you @Happyness. You are the person in the best position to do that. It is hard when others you are close to are tempted to do things you dont want to do.

Glad to hear from you again.
