First of all - thank you all for your support and comfort. It does really help and strengthen. What we did - it wasn't so much more then when I got back to the cottage where the group was, I used my bells in that soft way that only these bells can sound. And the participants all came back to the circle and just by looking at me they knew. So I told them what had happened, that she had died, and we sat there for a while and then we stopped doing what we were doing and went down to the main building and watch the ongoing news on the TV. It seemed important to me that they had the same chance as me to "take it in" in their own ways. We watch the news for about half and hour then each one had a little time on their own if they wanted or to stay in the group if they wanted that. Some of theme cried - and we hold each other, for some of the participants it evoked own, old memories of personal crises, own personal losses or political traumas (one woman was from Chile), and we talked about that... After lunch we assembled again in the cottage and we talked very briefly about the grief cycle and the crises curve, and after that they went on doing what they were doing before. Everyone was very tired, and calm and that was just OK. And for myself I could be in what I was in (if you could put it in that way English - what I mean is that when I was sad I cried, my tears dropped and that was OK for me as well). As a closing - I used the clapping circel that you Gabriela showed us in Bramstrup, I think by doing that it's both comforting, joy, and a great appreciating and strength for the whole group. All again - THANK YOU for being out there! Love Eva
