Grief ~ Geoff Warburton, PhD

What really jumped out to me was the presenter shared his experience supporting friends with Aids, and I was thinking replace every word he spoke with BPD.  And importantly he talks, takes us through his personal experience of grief, loss, to acceptance. Cradle to Grave.

Aids warriors, BPD warriors.

I thought it was interesting and gave a realistic understanding of grief and how it will hurt and feel horrible for a while and even while we are working to heal... and the pain never really goes away but can be turned around.

I like it!

Thanks wDarling!

From many of the things I have read it seems that pwBPD gets stuck in a grief cycle like a washing machine, possibly because they can never compartmentalise the event or because it's spread over such a long period of time. We too as partners of pwBPD sufferers also experience grief, maybe when we realise that life as we fantasised isn't likely to come to fruition.

I've been a huge fan of turning and facing the blast winds of grief (and BPD), feeling it, sitting with it and learning deeper things about myself with every wave. I have to admit there were times when I thought I wouldn't make it. But it was lovely when it passed.

Thanks WendyDarling... toodle pip xx

Love the toodle pip 

Wow Enabler my 30BPDDD could have written this, facing her pain, grief, sitting with her feelings, this too shall pass. To acceptance and life can get better. She's a DBT fan.

Harri I'm glad you liked it. Sometimes I think we may get stuck, that is my experience and revisiting where we are in the process of grief and listening to someone new, a new voice to us can be refreshing, a relief and reminder to be in touch with where we are.

It goes to show we are all deeply connected across the boards.
