Sometimes I need something tangible - like his talisman (with picture inside) and sometimes I need to feel held in his mind. I have something that is very special to me that I give him to hold while he is gone, or if I am gone.
I also usually need to know where (generally speaking) he is going. That way if there is a flood/tornado/earthquake/hurricane/bridge collapse/plane crash/hostage situation/hostile take-over/stock market crash...I'll know he isn't effected and I'll not worry. (You can plainly see that I don't worry much...)
I journal a lot, sometimes writing as if I'm talking to him. And I try to stay busy, which works about half the time.
My therapist goes on vacation next week but I haven't seen him in almost two weeks because of my injury. We are doing phone sessions, which isn't the same but helps some. So perhaps we need to open camp comfort - with ramps for some of us this year!
