Hi Karen, You wrote"Katarina, Would you like to know some facts about how bitterness (towards yourself OR others) destroys health that even cs can't help? Forgiveness is one of the best healers there is. Karen" I fully agree with you about the healing power of forgiveness. When I reread my post to Marshall I realized I had written it in full brain fog - as it sounded preachy, which is not what I meant to be, and also sounded as if I think that bitterness is healthy, which I don't. I do think that when first dealing with a loss it's important to allow yourself the full range of your feelings -- including anger and bitterness -- and not feel apologetic or ashamed of them because they are natural and will only pass through if allowed to be felt - otherwise they tend to get stuck or turn inwards. Now, that might not be true for someone who is very enlightened and just feels love and forgiveness from the start, but I think for a lot of us it is a process that we have to go through before we get there. For me it is much easier to forgive others than to forgive myself, so that's why I was so triggered to respond to Marshall's apologizing for his bitterness -- worried that he might turn it on himself if he held it in. So, Marshall, if you read this, that's what I meant and mostly I just meant to send hugs and am still a novice at expressing emotion to people I don't know but am fond of long distance over the internet and didn't know how to do it right.
And Karen, certainly if you want to send me information privately, I'm always glad to learn more, but I think we actually agree about forgiveness and love, for ourselves and others as perhaps the most primary tool for healing. Take care, Katarina Ps thanks for giving me the prod to change what I said. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
