Love In Action

An Exclusive Look Inside...

THE ELUSIVE GIFT OF TRAGEDY
by

Monday morning, John showed up at the house on some kind of pills, and I couldn’t stand to even look at him with that look in his eyes. I made him breakfast and told him to come back tomorrow when he was “clean.” He felt really bad that I was so hard on him, but to my surprise he showed up on Tuesday morning clean. His eyes were clear and so was his head. He said, “I’ll come every day for a session with you until I move back in on Sunday. I want to go to Houston as soon as the planes are flying again after the hurricane.” Then he talked again about joining the Red Cross, and about colleges in Texas.

Also, he had severely injured his knee again. He had forgotten to wear his knee brace and his knee had given way. As a result, he’d fallen down the stairs and hit his head so hard that his head literally had gone through the wall. He added, “My head is okay, but I’m more worried about the cost of fixing the wall.” I told him I would help him find a good contractor to repair it.

I told him about a new therapy called “Prolo Therapy” that might work without surgery. It strengthens ligaments with injections. It actually deliberately re-injures the knee to allow the body to repair itself. I had researched this therapy and was really impressed with its results. He asked, “Can you make an appointment right away because my knee is killing me, but I am absolutely not going to have surgery again.”

In the back of my mind, I was thinking, if he did have surgery again, I would take care of him at my house again. He could completely detox and I would know where he was every minute. That might be a miracle in itself. I also love taking care of people when they are sick and he was my favorite patient. I was very good at making the best of a bad situation. He kissed me goodbye and thanked me for being there for him. He said, “I’ll come before lunch tomorrow for the session. I want to take you out to lunch at the Macaroni Grill.”

Our session on Wednesday was very productive. In the BodyTalk System, a system of Energy Medicine, which I always use to begin a session, I was instructed to treat John’s, breathing. John admitted, “I’m having trouble breathing since I hit my head when I fell down the stairs.”

I did treat the breathing and after the session his breathing was greatly improved. We were both thrilled that he felt immediate relief. He said, “I don’t want a long session today because I’m hungry. I’ll be back every day, so let’s go eat.”

Over lunch, he told me, “You really hurt my feelings by sending Glen up to the house to tell me to get rid of any drugs. Everybody at work already thinks badly about me, and that only made it worse.” It’s true. The office staff at J & R Flooring is all family members, related either to his dad or to Glen, Jamie’s husband. John was very sensitive about what they might think about him and knew this “possible drug bust” put him in a bad light. That’s the kind of gossip that the family makes a big deal about. He said, “I’m not mad at you but wanted you to know how hurt I felt that you did that.”

I was totally ashamed of myself. He was so sincere and calm, and my heart broke because I could imagine how bad I made him feel by doing this. I had only wanted to protect him from further problems. He knew I was worried about him so he dropped the subject right away. After lunch, as we pulled into the garage, he said, “Mom, this is the first time we had lunch and didn’t fight about something.” It wasn’t that we would really fight. He would just get easily annoyed at something I would say or do. He left, saying quickly, “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

The next day, I was thrilled to see how clear his eyes were but I could tell he was having a bad day. As soon as he climbed up on the massage table for the session, he started talking about his money. He told me, “I want to put it all in your name so I won’t have access to it anymore. I don’t trust myself and want to get money only through you.”

I said, “I think you’re being very responsible and I’m sure you don’t need to do that. Let’s talk more about it after the session.” (I found out long after he died that a couple of people were really pressuring him to lend them money.) He told me his knee was still hurting a lot. I always use the BodyTalk System so I couldn’t work on his knee yet. Through kinesiology, I asked his body what to do first and was instructed to first use tuning forks on his neck.
