Did you ever go out somewhere, just the two of you, and had an awesome time? Try and think of happy moments like those, and soon those thoughts will be filling your head instead.

insight2020 answered Wednesday February 25 2004, 12:28 pm: You need to substitute a different image in your head. Pick something more pleasant and practice it until you're less sensitive to it. If the impulse is to pick up a photo each time you pass it,go the other way. Put memos away and replace them with other things until some time has passed. We need to have healthy "substitutions" to go to to help change thoughts and patterns. Sounds like you knew her only a short time and under sad circumstances,and we don't want this sadnes to color your life now or forever. And remember,its OK to talk about it-maybe with your parents or a brother or sister. No sense in pretending to others that you're Ok with this or ANYTHING else if you're not. Maybe you could talk about some good memories of your aunt-and it will make everyone feel better. Or,if need be, a counselor since this has been a problem for you for a couple of years already. Make the move to heal! But try not to hang in the past-the past is a place to visit and reflect upon from time to time but NOT a place to live.-Insight2020(formerly tommytony) [ insight2020's advice column | Ask insight2020 A Question ]
