One form of self-therapy: 03 (Writing to the dead person)


Another then-student in the 1990s told me about her bereavement therapy.


    Part 1:  write a letter to the dead person, then actually post the letter (to one's own address).

    Part 2:  when the letter arrives, the grieving party sits down to write a reply as the dead person.

   

    Again, like the visualisation workshop exercise, I can see how Part 1 might or can work, as it's cathartic, but I can't visualise Part 2 somehow.
