Your brick story

I was 21 when my dad died. We were so close, and i was lost without him. The day he died I moved back to my home town and went into some wierd kind of shut down mode emotionally. Ever since, I moved away from home and I've been trying to move on and to deal with this loss but feel incapable of being the person I feel I was supposed to be. I haven't been succssful in serious relationship since and I can see that I'm pushing someone I adore away once again. I'm in my thirties now and this really needs to stop ...I'm just not sure where to start.

    I feel this brick suggests that you have already started. i often feel that the power of loss is not recognised in our lives. Loss is permanent - it is an absence of something that can never be present again - it cannot be taken away, or filled or got over. Sometimes i think we can spend a lot of our lives trying to find something that resembles what we have lost - simply because we cannot bear that it is gone forever. That tends to mean we end up being disappointed because we can never replicate something - it will always be different. And you may also be pushing away someone because you fear getting too close again - in case it is taken away from you. I think you may find others have helpful experiences to share if you wished to open this conversation in a talkabout - or you can always PM me if you want someone to talk further with. Big hugs, Roze
