Subject: A psychologist described it to me once as "ruminating." Just like a cow chewing on its cud. Something very affecting happens and we can't get it out of our mind right away, even when we try to put it off it just keeps chewing and chewing in the background. Really, the only cure for it is time. Can you fit an out of the ordinary thing into your schedule to take your mind down a different path, a night at the movies or a day in another town, just doodling around, anything to break the pattern? After the two recent deaths in our family my husband and I arranged a day away from home each time just to do anything we wanted to do, have fun and get away.

[> Thank You Ron and Beccabee, it's getting just a little better, but I'm not totally there yet! I do believe that it is some kind of ruminating. It is also something that put me back in touch with our mortality and worries of suddenly going and leaving the kids alone. Well it doesn't help that since I moved here I don't really have anybody to talk to and since I came back I haven't seen my husband who is still away. So not a soul to talk to and trying to deal with all this, a few health problems on top of it and I guess even I, am not that strong... But thank you both for your input... -- Isabelle, 22:03:11 04/23/04 Fri
