Hi Gary,
I like that we are in alignment with your child development professor! Also, anything easy enough for kids to understand is always a way to go!
Love you!

She instructed us that when we were working at the preschool and a child hurt us, we were to exclaim “Ouch!” to give the child non judgmental feedback that they hurt us.

Hi Sally!

I’m so sorry to hear about your family member. Sounds hard and sad. I think this kind of stepping back when with a family member is especially difficult!

I’m very grateful to hear that my reply might have supported your experience. Thank you so much for letting me know.

Blessings and love to you as you continue to journey through the new relationship and take sweet care of yourself in the process!

Hi Rachel!

Thank you for adding your thoughts. I can’t disagree with your suggestion of a more direct approach. I have friends with whom I would consider this. And I think that way is more honest, really.

In my experience, I’ve had friends with whom I haven’t felt safe to communicate this honestly, and/or I’ve felt it wasn’t in alignment with the relationship to communicate in this direct way. For instance, in this situation, I wasn’t hearing a level of intimacy this more direct communication would (for me) call for.

But I am also aware that I am, by nature, conflict-avoidant! So I cannot deny that may well be contributing to my suggested approach. 🫢 Maybe I’ve concocted logic to support being a chicken!

Thank you SO much for your additional insight and suggestion of this more direct way.

I actually recently walked through a close friendship ending with direct communication between us. It was extremely painful. But it did bring a level of closure with the pain.

I certainly agree that this is another way to go when it feels safe enough, and best for all!

Thank you again for adding your straight up wisdom!

Big hugs 🤗

Yes, Cindy! Fabulous additions. Thank you for this. I agree and always, looking for original wounding and gentle healing is always a good thing. So grateful for this.

One paragraph in particular has helped me with an issue with a family member who I have had to break with. I have been stuggling and grieving the loss of what we used to have. Your message today gave me validation that what we had is gone. I still grieve the loss and still love that person but now feel more able to release the relationship and to release her to her highest good.

It leaves the friend wondering why the distancing – and brings up feelings of rejection and loss. It would be better to be direct with your friend – let them know how you feel about the change in the friendship and that perhaps it is time to let it go.

My recent Shadow Work and Forgiveness with Rev Dr Michelle Wadleigh has provided me with tools to look a bit more deeply. What is behind these feelings? When have I experienced similar feelings in the past? There might well be some hand holding with my younger self in healing old wounds. Trust our bodies, and know that we are loved and we are Love. Love and hugs to all! Cindy
