Experiences such as these touch us at the deepest level. They leave us much changed, and by
this change we are opened up to greater understanding of the needs of others. We must learn to put aside our own emotional needs
at a time when those around us cannot easily meet those demands. We can allow
ourselves to draw upon our own experiences of loss in order to empathise with
others, despite the risk of re-opening our own wounds, in the knowledge that we
are all the more strong for having been there ourselves. Above all, we must
learn to trust our instincts – and to make time to listen without judging.
And a final note to close...
I do not consider myself to be a healer. I have no
special powers and would never dream to assume that any of what happened here
was down to any specific skill of mine. These were Lee’s choices every step of
the way – he chose to fight for those extra five months, and he chose to stop
fighting when he knew his work was done and he could do no more.
I have however been fortunate enough to have been
drawn to a very ancient, simple yet powerful method of treatment which helped
me immensely in my hour of need. It would indeed be selfish of me if I did not pass this knowledge on to others, in the hope that they will glean from it whatever
it is they need to make the necessary transformations in their own lives, just
as I have been able to do in mine.
I will be eternally grateful to my Tutor and Mentor,
Nora Franglen, and for her mantra of 'the simpler, the better', for without her
guidance and influence I feel I would not have been able to do my best by Lee.
