Comment on On the Anniversary of Jim’s Suicide by Tee

Janice – I came across your blog as I was looking for insights of how to “honor” someone on the anniversary of their suicide. Your blog was not necessarily what I was looking for — but I was blessed to read it. In a way, you’ve honored Jim and yourself. The realness and range of emotions you shared resound loudly to my experience.

I hope you are indeed finding the love, peace and acceptance of self.

Comment on Pavlov explains everything by Mark Gasman

Hi Janice,

I came across this blog post and I really can relate to your ‘Pavlovian Diagram’. I myself don’t communicate with friends and family that much, and I sometimes wonder why I’m that way. Though I have to admit, it’s kind of a defense mechanism on my part — if I get too close or if I spend time with them a lot or chat with them regularly, when they leave e.g. migrate, or become too busy with their lives, and the like, I’ll tend to feel sad or hurt so my brain says: ‘just put some distance to avoid the hurt that will eventually come’. Hope to read more posts from you, thank you for sharing this interesting theory, clever girl.

Janice, this is a brave post. I am so sorry to learn of your brother’s death, I had no idea. Perhaps we can have a competition for the worst year of our lives. I hope yours is now as good as mine is, you deserve it.

xoxo Robin
