About

You might be reading this at an hour when nobody else is awake, which is when a lot of this tends to happen. The daytime version of you is managing. It is the other one, at three in the morning, who went looking for a therapist. That version is welcome here. Bereavement runs on its own schedule, and it is often at its worst when there is nobody available to say anything to. That is why so much of it gets carried in silence and never mentioned again in daylight. We give the night version somewhere to go. Most people find that alone reduces how loud it gets. I have done this work long enough to know that the composed person who arrives on Tuesday is not the whole story. I am interested in the other one. If you are reading this at three in the morning, get in touch when it is light.
