Today is my half birthday. I am forty-seven and a half today. I celebrate a half birthday on April 16 because it helps me get through April 15 which is the anniversary of my husband’s suicide.
Yesterday was fine. No tears, no meltdown, no sense of being sucked into the black hole of grief and regret. This sums up the day ~
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
The reason I did so well yesterday was because I spent Friday and Saturday training as a therapist in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I discovered a whole range of strategies to deal with negative thoughts and uncomfortable feelings. It is pretty amazing to realise that even on the anniversary of the darkest day of my life, there is a way to get past it. I will tell you more soon about how I am living a rich, fulfilled and meaningful life even in the face of great pain.
