The Blog Article:

Inner Child Healing Techniques..

"The feeling of wanting to die, of not wanting to be here, is the most overwhelming, most familiar feeling in my emotional inner landscape. Until I started doing my inner child healing I believed that who I really was at the deepest, truest part of my being, was that person who wanted to die."
"The inner child we need to heal is actually our "inner children" who have been running our lives because we have been unconsciously reacting to life out of the emotional wounds and attitudes, the old tapes, of our childhoods."

"Anytime we have a strong emotional reaction to something or someone - when a button is pushed and there is a lot of energy attached, a lot of intensity - that means there is old stuff involved.

It is the inner child who feels panic or terror or rage or hopelessness, not the adult."

"The one who betrayed us and abandoned and abused us the most was ourselves. That is how the emotional defense system that is Codependence works.

The battle cry of Codependence is "I'll show you - I'll get me.""

On this page are some innovative, life-changing insights, tools, and techniques for inner child healing developed by codependency therapist/Spiritual teacher.

The Web Site of Spiritual Teacher, codependence counselor, grief therapist, author, Robert Burney and Joy to You & Me Enterprises.

Robert is the author of the Joyously inspirational book

Codependence:
The Dance of Wounded Souls.

Included are quotes from Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls, and from columns and other material written by Robert Burney.
Inner Child Healing Techniques

"When we are reacting out of old tapes based on attitudes and beliefs that are false or distorted, then our feelings cannot be trusted.
When we are reacting out of our childhood emotional wounds, then what we are feeling may have very little to do with the situation we are in or with the people with whom we are dealing in the moment.

In order to start be-ing in the moment in a healthy, age-appropriate way it is necessary to heal our "inner child." The inner child we need to heal is actually our "inner children" who have been running our lives because we have been unconsciously reacting to life out of the emotional wounds and attitudes, the old tapes, of our childhoods."

(All quotes in this color are from Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls)
It is vitally important to start paying attention to our inner children.
It does not work, it is dysfunctional, to deny that our childhood wounds have affected our lives.

Our emotional wounds have been dictating our lives and keeping us from Loving ourselves.

We have been an abusive parent to ourselves.

"Because of our broken hearts, our emotional wounds, and our scrambled minds, our subconscious programming, what the disease of Codependence causes us to do is abandon ourselves. It causes the abandonment of self, the abandonment of our own inner child - and that inner child is the gateway to our channel to the Higher Self.
The one who betrayed us and abandoned and abused us the most was ourselves. That is how the emotional defense system that is Codependence works.

The battle cry of Codependence is "I'll show you - I'll get me.""

We have an age of the wounded inner child that relates to each stage of the development process. It is very important to start getting in touch with these parts of ourselves and building a Loving relationship with each of them.
Anytime we have a strong emotional reaction to something or someone - when a button is pushed and there is a lot of energy attached, a lot of intensity - that means there is old stuff involved.

It is the inner child who feels panic or terror or rage or hopelessness, not the adult.

We need to ask ourselves "How old am I feeling right now?" and then listen for an intuitive answer. When we get that answer then we can track down why the child was feeling that way.

It is not that important to know the details of why the child is feeling that way - it is important to honor that the child's feelings are valid. Sometimes we recover some memory and sometimes we don't - the details are not that important, honoring the feelings is important. Trying to fill in the details isn't necessary and can lead to false memories.

"It is also a vital part of the process to learn discernment. To learn to ask for help and guidance from people who are trustworthy, . . . That means counselors and therapists who will not judge and shame you and project their issues onto you.
(I believe that the cases of "false memories" that are getting a lot of publicity these days are in reality cases of emotional incest - which is rampant in our society and can be devastating to a person's relationship with his/her own sexuality - that are being misunderstood and misdiagnosed as sexual abuse by therapists who have not done their own emotional healing and project their own issues of emotional incest and/or sexual abuse onto their patients).

Someone who has not done her/his own emotionally healing grief work cannot guide you through yours. Or as John Bradshaw put it in his excellent PBS series on reclaiming the inner child, "No one can lead you somewhere that they haven't been.""

When one of our "buttons" is pushed - when an old wound is gouged - it is very important to honor the child's feelings without buying into the illusion that it matches the adults reality.
"What we feel is our "emotional truth" and it does not necessarily have anything to do with either facts or the emotional energy that is Truth with a capital "T" especially when we our reacting out of an age of our inner child."

The following is from a column entitled "Union Within" and explains some of the dynamics of the inner child parenting process.

"The feeling of wanting to die, of not wanting to be here, is the most overwhelming, most familiar feeling in my emotional inner landscape. Until I started doing my inner child healing I believed that who I really was at the deepest, truest part of my being, was that person who wanted to die. I thought that was the true 'me'. Now I know that is just a small part of me. When that feeling comes over me now I can say to that seven year old, "I am really sorry you feel that way Robbie. You had very good reason to feel that way. But that was a long time ago and things are different now. I am here to protect you now and I Love you very much. We are happy to be alive now and we are going to feel Joy today, so you can relax and this adult will deal with life.". . . .
"The integration process involves consciously cultivating a healthy, Loving relationship with all of my inner children so that I can Love them, validate their feelings, and assure them that everything is different now and everything is going to be all right. When the feelings from the child come over me it feels like my whole being, like my absolute reality - it isn't, it is just a small part of me reacting out of the wounds from the past. I know that now because of my recovery, and I can lovingly parent and set boundaries for those inner children so they are not dictating how I live my life. By owning and honoring all of the parts of me I now have a chance to have some balance and union within."

(Column "Union Within" by Robert Burney)

We need to be the Loving parent who can hear the child's voice within us.
We need to learn to be nurturing and Loving to the wounded parts of us.

We can do that by actually working on developing a relationship with those wounded parts of us. The first step is to open a dialog.

I believe that it is important to actually talk to the children inside of us.

To open communications in any way we can through talking to those parts of ourselves in a Loving way (which means also to stop calling ourselves names like stupid - when we do that we are abusing our inner children), right hand/left hand writing, painting and drawing, music, making collages, taking the child to the toy store, etc.

At first the child will probably not trust you - for many very good reasons. Eventually we can start building trust. If we will treat ourselves with one tenth as much compassion as we would an abused puppy who came into our care - we would be Loving ourselves much more that we have been.

"As long as we are judging and shaming ourselves we are giving power to the disease. We are feeding the monster that is devouring us.
We need to take responsibility without taking the blame. We need to own and honor the feelings without being a victim of them.
We need to rescue and nurture and Love our inner children and STOP them from controlling our lives. STOP them from driving the bus! Children are not supposed to drive, they are not supposed to be in control.

And they are not supposed to be abused and abandoned. We have been doing it backwards. We abandoned and abused our inner children. Locked them in a dark place within us. And at the same time let the children drive the bus - let the children's wounds dictate our lives."

It is very important to nurture ourselves out of the Loving adult in ourselves - the one who understands delayed gratification.
It is the wounded child in us that wants instant gratification.

We need to set boundaries for the wounded part of us that wants to go unconscious or indulge in things which are abusive in the long run.

"The pain of being unworthy and shameful was so great that I had to learn ways to go unconscious and disconnect from my feelings. The ways in which I learned to protect myself from that pain and nurture myself when I was hurting so badly were with things like drugs and alcohol, food and cigarettes, relationships and work, obsession and rumination.
The way it works in practice is like this: I am feeling fat; I judge myself for being fat; I shame myself for being fat; I beat myself for being fat; then I am hurting so badly that I have to relieve some of the pain; so to nurture myself I eat a pizza; then I judge myself for eating the pizza, etc. etc.

To the disease, this is a functional cycle. The shame begets the self-abuse which begets the shame which serves the purpose of the disease which is to keep us separate so the we don't set ourselves up to fail by believing that we are worthy and lovable."

(Column "A Dance of Suffering, Shame, and Self-abuse" by Robert Burney)
We can learn to be responsible adults who can Lovingly parent the wounded children inside of us. It is a lot of work and it takes time, but it is worth it. It can create the freedom to be able to let go, to be happy and Joyous in the moment, no matter what is happening in our lives. It leads to empowerment, serenity, and the ability to have a more Loving relationship with self. Nothing you do in your life will be more rewarding or have more far reaching consequences than healing your wounded soul - which is what your wounded inner children represent. We are - you are, I am - Lovable and worthy.

:D “The moment of NOW” :D

:angel:Written by Daz :angel:

I could tell you a whole ‘bucket’ list of ups and downs
but I’ll just stick to the NOW ‘cause that’s all that matters…
NOT how you felt last week or even yesterday…
The moment of NOW is all that is important…

So, how do you feel NOW?
Me,
I feel FINE ‘cause I know that I have a ‘back up’ plan…
A Plan B…
on BAD days where I can ‘fall apart’ and
get ‘glued’ together all over again…
A safe haven where I can be MYSELF and
‘brag’ about the Victories of the day…
How silly they may seem…

Am I still the same ‘wreck’ as 4 years ago or
has something changed for the better or
for the worse?

I can say it’s for the better…
I’ve peddled through all the stages of grief, back and forth…
It still feels a little ‘strange’ to getting back to ‘normal’ again…
A little scary too…

What if things go bump in the night again?
Do I have to start at the beginning with no added Bonuses?
Nah, I go to my ‘safe haven’…
For us, it’s MJJC or the MJ family
that understands how you feel and
know the ‘triggers’ to fall apart by heart so…


I never thought I would say that College is
what I needed now to stay ‘healed’.
It all makes sense ‘cause that’s
an IMPORTANT part in the ‘coping strategies’ …

FIND A PASSION…
FIND A NEW ENVIRONMENT…
where you can start from scratch…
For me, that’s College…
No one knows the hurt I’ve been through…
I’m the PROUD Author there…
Don’t be CONFUSED by ‘letting it go’
or ‘hiding your pain’ now…

Meeting people outside the MJ bubble
can be ‘frustrating’ and
I guess the key is ‘don’t mention’ MJ…
Tough?

It sure is but also broadens your ‘perspective’
that you don’t need to drown yourself in grief…
There is a whole world out there to be discovered or
like Michael said…
“Let us take you to places you’ve never been before”

Does it take guts and courage?
Hell yeah… Once again, No pain… NO gain…
Sometimes, we have to walk through the waterfall
to see the paradise hidden behind it…

Of course, you need to ‘respect’ your pace in life and
find that ‘trigger’ in your mind that ‘blocks’ or
even better ‘stops’ the hurt, the anger, the guilt…
I can tell you…
It’s worth the effort as I still can’t believe…
I have the courage to go to College…
Meet new people… study and concentrate all day…
Knowing that ‘triggers’ will arise but I’m armed…
With what?

Stuff that ‘sooths’ your soul…
I can name all the things that sooth me but
they are ‘personal’ and they won’t necessarily help you,
the one who’s reading my ‘rant’ now…
However, these are my ‘coping skills’ these days…

I do every morning the same routine...
POP on Michael’s music and
fuel my soul with your energy…
So I can 'rise and shine'.
I always have my MP3 Player which I nicknamed
“my life saver” with me, just as Plan B
If my battery goes ‘flat’ during the day…

I have a 'fixed' schedule of all the activities I'm doing...
College, household, leisure, friends, family...
All "scheduled" and this has become my "backbone" ;)

I "indulge" in learning NEW skills...
Also THRIVE and BRAG into the ones I already know…
This is how you BOOST your CONFIDENCE.
Brings you POSITIVE ENERGY

I also have the MISSION bestowed on me...
Care from my parents…
Write and publish my books...
Bring L.O.V.E back into the world...
Show people that
:agree:“Whatever you believe, you become” :agree:


 
Okay, I'm back with another 'blog' or 'essay', I've just written in the light of this 'topic' :angel:

“Healed or not”

Written by Daz aka ‘Daryll748’

Yesterday, I went into town…
I popped into a HUGE store full of books,
computers, DVD’s and Music…
I was ‘browsing’ into the current DVD sections and
then my eye fell on the ‘sales’ stands and
I couldn’t believe that the DVD’s that I wanted but
couldn’t afford yet were on SALE…

Boring intro, I know…
What happens next made me realize…
Hey, am I healed or what?

While I was browsing for more DVD’s clutching
the ‘sales’ ones in my hand…
I heard this familiar voice…
“What ‘you doing now? “

I smiled and answered him in thoughts…
I was looking for DVD’s to watch ‘cause Saturday evenings
were again ‘Movie nights’ as before…
I heard him chuckle…

“Movies? “ He wondered.
“You don’t watch them any more, do you? “
“Well, I'm healed, remember…”

I only fretted while browsing through another ‘sales’ box
to find the one I wanted…
“Oh yeah” I heard him smile.

So, guys…
It’s all a matter of time ‘till you’re healed…
It doesn’t mean…
I’m NOT hurting any more or that I simply ‘forgotten’ Michael…

NO… It’s hard to explain but
you’ll feel as BLESSED as I am once
you ‘feel’ you can pick up your life again…
Will it be the same?
Hell NO, it won’t but since when is ‘different’ not okay…

:angel: Time does heal :angel:​
 
Since, it's Wednesday again :wild: It's time for another 'BLOG' in this wonderful thread :agree:

&#8220;Positive vibes&#8221;
Written by Daz aka &#8216;Daryll748&#8217;


Yesterday was March 5&#8230;
Four years ago, that was one of the happiest days in my life&#8230;
You know, Michael&#8217;s Press conference announcing &#8220;This is it&#8221; &#8230;
Now, it kind of leaves a &#8216;BAD&#8217; taste in your mouth as
how can things change hey&#8230;
I could have sulked and cried all day&#8230;
As the pain still feels so &#8216;fresh&#8217; though it&#8217;s &#8216;bandaged&#8217;
so it can&#8217;t bleed any more&#8230; It doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s healed&#8230;
That&#8217;s the confusing part of grief&#8230;
Does it ever heal or do you just find ways to cope with it?
Do you find strong enough &#8216;bandages&#8217; to wrap up the &#8216;gaping&#8217; wound?

So, feeling blue that morning&#8230;
I was exactly really glad it was a college day &#8216;cause silly or not&#8230;
When I&#8217;m there I feel &#8216;healed&#8217; &#8230;
It still baffles me that I got friends now&#8230; I used to be such a &#8216;loner&#8217;&#8230;

Anyway, feeling blue on such a day is quite normal but
it shouldn&#8217;t &#8216;overshadow&#8217; the joy of that day&#8230;
It&#8217;s okay to smile and even laugh on these &#8216;crucial&#8217; days&#8230;
I first thought it was &#8216;disrespectful&#8217; cause
how can you smile when your loved one is not longer here&#8230;
Then, I thought&#8230; What should Michael do?

He would go out &#8230; HELP people&#8230; Make their life BRIGHTER&#8230;
Show the world what he&#8217;s made of&#8230;
SHINE so BRIGHT that other people get &#8216;burnt&#8217;
with your &#8216;sparkles&#8217; of light&#8230;
No battle is ever won by hiding in your closet
waiting for the storm to pass&#8230;
No, you stand tall and face the day&#8230;
How TOUGH it might seem&#8230;
Being BRAVE is what makes you SHINE&#8230;

On that &#8216;supposedly&#8217; awful day&#8230;
I stood my ground and talked with passion
about being an Author in front of the whole class.
Yep&#8230; There are 30 college students in it.
It even made the teacher SHINE and that
BOOSTED my confidence even more&#8230;

So, guys&#8230;
BAD days are NOT DOOMED to stay BAD&#8230;
YOU&#8230;
only YOU can make them into GOOD memory days,
no matter what &#8216;flavor&#8217; they had before&#8230;

:punk:You are the MASTER of your own life&#8230; :punk:

Yours,
Daryll &#8216;delightful&#8217; aka Daz.​

A very good article about the importance of getting outdoors to enhance health & happiness :)

- Health Advantages Of Going Outside

walking_533.jpg


Going outside is a very good habit to be healthy and fit. People who used to go outside remain more fit and healthy than the people who don’t go outside from their home. When you go outside you feel fresh air which makes your mood quite good .

Advantages of Going Outside

Enhancement In Focusing Power

Sometimes you get bore from the similar task by doing again and again. One of the best ways to focus on the task is to step outside. The fresh air of nature helps you to step away from everything and to refocus naturally on your task. Just a few minutes outdoors can help you to regain your focus that you were looking for, and you can concentrate better on your work.

Reduction Of Tension And Stress

Tension and stress are the part of our life. If you are looking for an instant stress release, simply go outside, breath in some fresh air and see how much better you feel. Taking a short break from the things that are stressing out to breath in the fresh air will give you the boost that you need to work past the stressful circumstances. After coming from outside you will feel better from stress and you can focus in a better way.

Sunlight

Sunlight is a powerful energy source for human body. It helps in the prevention of various health problems. From sunlight, we get vitamin D. Though you don’t want to overdo it and certainly want to use sun block of in the sun for a prolonged period of time, it may be good for your health. Vitamin D is essential for everything from the strength of our bones to the moods that we experience. Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to very serious health problems over time, so your best source is a bit of sunlight each and every day.

Weight loss

Going outside can help in weight loss. When you go outside you used to consume your energy and also fats which leads to weight loss. This is particularly true because many people feel compelled to move about when they are outdoors, and this is good for the potential for physical activity that our body requires. So head outside and maybe even take in a workout, and you just might find that you lose some weight as you enjoy the outdoors.

So going outside makes you feel batter and also makes you healthy and fit. Its better to go outside than to stay at home without any reason.

Hello MJ fam :hiya:

Now, instead of a lot of 'fancy' words to describe a way to HEAL a 'broken heart', I'll just post this piccie I made :blush:

Sometimes, a piccie can say a thousand words... :agree:

FixedBrokenheart_zpsa9e12e7f.jpg


See, everyone gets his/her :heart: broken but it doesn't NEED to bleed dry... You can 'mend' it with 'stickers'...
This is how I mended my :heart:

Of course, you can 'apply' other stickers too...

So, there's NO NEED to feel 'heartbroken' after all :blush:

Much :wub: from DAZ :tease:
 

“New life”


Written by Daz aka Daryll :tease:

I experienced something quite healing today…
That I needed to tell you guys…
As you know,
I go to College NOW and
Michael has been quite ‘off topic’ there…
I mean, you don’t go shouting through the hall ways that
“You MISS Michael” right?

I had someone that ‘casually’ just talked and laughed with.
Today she revealed she’s a fan too…
It felt so GOOD to finally ‘take off’ that
‘I’m fine’ mask.

I told her that I touched rock bottom.
I’m NOW trying to build my life from scratch.
She revealed that she too went through a rough time.
NOW only focus on her PASSIONS…
Nothing else matters…
NO gossiping, No heart eating any more… Just PASSION…

I felt like I met a ‘soul mate’ again and it made me shine…
The other ‘classmate’ that I always talk to…
Is NOT a fan and she just smiled and listened…

It felt ‘healing’ to talk about Michael WITHOUT
the need to ‘convince’ people…
Without the feeling of crying or getting pissed…

:agree:Moral of the story? :agree:
Be PROUD of who you are…
Do NOT hide away in your pain…
You are NOT alone…
We all have scars and cracked hearts…
By sharing your story, YOU open hearts to others…
You make them SEE that ‘rock bottom’ is NOT
the end but the beginning of a NEW life…

I never told anyone this before, but I want to respond to ThrillerChilds post about getting outside, it is my own experience.

As some of you know, I was a fan when I was a little girl, and then Michael got brushed out of my world as trying to impress my family and get them to like me became my major need. It all came crashing down when I went to see Immortal last summer, and for about a week I did nothing but watch YouTube videos. I barely ate or slept, I would just come home from work and not even take my shoes off, just sit there all night usually till 1 or 2 in the morning.

Then one day at work I felt really funny, and I followed my new routine and came home and watched more and more. Then when I went to be around 2:30, by body immediately just curled up and cried. I had no idea why, and I couldn't control it. I had never cried like that before, and I didn't stop for two days.

After a full 48 hours of this, I was definitely scaring myself and was able to pull myself together enough to wash my face and go outside. At this point I hadn't been outside,except to go to work and come strait home, in about two weeks. It was so good! It was summer time, the sun was shining, and everything was beautiful. I could not stop looking up and the trees and sky and thinking "Michael would have loved this day" which, of course, made me cry some more! But I went to the river near my house and I sat under a tree and just being with nature gave me so much clarity. At this time, I had no idea Michael could mean so much to me and I had only begun to learn about who he really was from all that video watching. It was all new and scary. But being in nature helped me think more clearly and begin to understand why I had such a reaction.

You put into words so well how I feel every day! It has been overwhelming. It feels like being at a nice classy party and realizing you've had WAY too much to drink. All I can do sometimes is walk around and think "Act normal. This is normal right? Just don't say anything cause if you do you'll start talking about Michael" But all that still doesn't make me look normal, people just think "Why doesn't she talk to anyone?"

I am not brave enough yet to show people my broken heart, I wish I was. It can be very lonely. But maybe that day, when I will have the courage, is in my future.

I must remind myself that Yes I am not like the others, I don't fit in, I never did and now I really feel that nobody understands me. But, Michael felt this way too. He did not try to change himself, he stayed true however painful. That was part of his gift and so, maybe, somehow, it is also part of mine.

I read this 'heartfelt' message during my 'cookie break' at college but couldn't reply so I first said 'thanks' and now at home :cheeky: I can 'reply' with stuff that I 'experience' during my college hours... . I hope it will give you all 'wings' :angel: and even a little peace of mind too...

I've been 'fretting' about the 'BOLD' stuff too lately... I mean, meeting NEW peeps at college and you wanna make a GOOD impression as HIDING in some corner is NOT gonna HELP so... You TRY out stuff and see where you BUMP into a wall or not...

"First Impressions"


I've noticed that people do like that you are just YOURSELF...
How SILLY you may think you are...
You INSPIRE peeps to think outside the box for once...

IF you decide to TALK about your PASSION...
SHOW so much PRIDE and :heart: that
the person FEEL the 'sparks' hitting her/him...

NEVER be ashamed to talk about what and who you love...
If peeps RESPECT you, they will TALK to you no matter what...

IF you're NOT ready to 'reveal' your passions or talk about Michael :blush:
then as 'kick off' to a convo...
I try to FIND OUT what their 'interests' are? Is it cooking?
Then, You look up stuff about cooking and in that way...
You will have a 'subject' you can TALK about 'to break the ice' ...
The other person will THINK that you show 'interest' in them and
you will FEEL the ice 'break' cause
sometimes 'small talk' leads to 'deeper' conversations :cheeky:

NEVER be :blush: about YOUR feelings...
They are YOURS only...
You don't have to PLEASE and be FRIENDS with everyone...

:agree:The ones who will STICK with you :agree:
are the ones who RESPECT you...

Much :love: from Daz.​
 
I want to share something that happened month, around September I think. I was having a very hard time dealing with a lot of things and missing Michael.

First I should explain, for me, it is really like he left us last summer. Because nothing absorbed for me, and I did not react or feel or know about Michael when it happened, this has all happened for me last June. So the way things were for most fans that first horrible year, that is where I am.

The problem is also that I only began to learn all about him then. This causes a horrible circle of pain because just as I read his speeches and hear his songs and see all the light, I feel two things at once. First I think "oh my god, this is someone who understands me!" and second "oh my god, he's not with us anymore". This has been the most devastating pain for me because he was here, and I didn't love and appreciate him while I could have.

I sat listening to a long list of songs on shuffle, and I was crying and feeling so much pain about my childhood and wishing I had known back then how much Michael cared. Then, Little Suzie began to play.

I cried harder then ever but I really felt then that Michael was somehow with me. The way I was sitting, it may sound strange but my foot was up on a table and I was holding myself tight with my hand on the back of my head. I was feeling such despair and it was a very dark moment.

It was then that I began to feel calm, and a peace came over me and I knew, Michael was with me. It might sound crazy but I felt that it was Michael holding me in that moment. I have never felt that any other time, not like this. I REALLY felt his presence and I slowly stopped crying. This is the closest I have ever felt to him, and I knew instinctively that he cared and did not want to see me in pain like that. I just stayed there, not knowing how long he would stay for, and allowing his light to comfort me.

When the song ended he was still with me, then You Are Not Alone came on.I did not have to question why this was, I just stayed there in his "arms" and let him sing to me. While this was all happening, with my eyes closed and my head buried, I was really in an alternate reality and his voice wasn't coming from the speakers of my computer, I hope that makes sense to you.

Towards the end of the song I felt him leaving. I did not try to hold on. I just felt grateful and loved. It wasn't sudden, he slowly drifted away and I knew it was because he was needed somewhere else, that I was not the only one suffering. I let him go freely because I knew someone needed him. I know this is something I have never felt before and I don't expect I ever will again. I will never forget the day he came to be with me :)

Lark
 
WOW :clap:Lark :blush:

I just ::heart: such uplifting stories where Michael "HEALS" other fans too...
I used to say to him... "Please think and care about my friends too... I'm NOT the only one hurting..."
I had a beautiful dream this week of meeting Michael on a party...

"FREE in HEAVEN"

Dreamt by Daryll.

I was at a party getting tired of 'socializing' with the crowd...
Suddenly, I saw him dooming up there in the distance.
He seemed lost in the crowd that just walked past him...
He noticed me, called out my name and walked over to me...

"Michael? " I wondered and touched his shoulder.
"Why 'you do that?
Everyone has been rubbing my shoulder and then they fret at me...
You're an Imposter... Is that a BAD thing? Should I be worried now? "
He asked so innocently.
It made me chuckle.

"No, Michael. Be glad you can walk for once without being seen...
No one attacked you... You're free..."
"Free? "

"What 'you doing here anyway? " I asked him boldly.
"God granted me a day on earth... I don't quite like it...
Everyone is mean to me..." He hung his head down.

"You silly, you've found me..."
"Yeah" he perked up.
"What 'you wanna do, today? "

"Can we just sit on that bench over there?
I can snuggle up to you and you can tell me all about what heaven is like..."
"Okay"

I curled up to him and he felt so warm and his heartbeat was so soothing that
I didn't hear much of his stories cause in his grip,
I felt so save that it made me fall asleep...​

I woke up and it made me :blush: so NOW I know, he's at peace in heaven :angel:
Thought, I'd share this with you, guys :blush:
 
Hey :D

I exactly wanted to write about "people with grief" in my college assignment but then ditched the idea 'cause I thought it was way too 'personal' :blush: So, I thought why not 'drop' it here 'cause it does have COOL links to HELPFUL blogs that I was gonna use as 'sources'... :cheeky:
“People with grief”
Written by Daryll.

it’s somehow the ‘forgotten’ group of people.
It doesn’t only affect elderly people who lose the spouse of their lives but also young people
who suddenly have to face the world without their loved one…

I agree you have the counselors and the family who check upon you the first months and
then abandon you but grief doesn’t have a time schedule…

It comes in waves and forget about the stages of grief…
They are only a ‘guide’ of what you should expect but reality is somehow different.
We tend to say ‘we’re okay’ cause we don’t want our family to worry and fuss over us…

Yet, we drown ourselves in either ‘over activity’: spring cleaning, helping others or
in ‘inactivity’ : just hanging out in the sofa no sense in dressing, eating, doing stuff…
Those are normal reactions when you grief…
The problem is they are met with so much resentment of people who ‘care’ about you…
That causes even more pain and isolation.

So, they try to make you happy with all sorts of activities ignorant of the fact that it brings painful memories.
In that way, forcing people to smile only has a negative impact on the whole healing strategy.

All we want is to be respected and loved…
Not belittled and pampered...
We haven’t lost our minds nor our way of doing stuff…
It’s just our world fell apart and we have to build it from scratch again…

Grieving is a long and hidden process and
the people who end up in the acceptance stage shouldn’t be abandoned either
cause grief is like a broken heart.
The acceptance phase is only skin deep.
I call it a sticker that is glued over the wound and even
the most silly thing will make your heart bleed again…

An listening ear is sometimes hard to find cause
we only talk over and over again about our loved one…
In that way, we give the loss of our loved one a place in our new acclaimed life…

We just need time to come out of our bubble and to be part of this new world again…
Grief and loss is like taking off the training wheels of your bike…
It’s scary yet exciting and one day you can only hope that you will bask in the glory of
the memories you once shared and make your loved one proud everyday…

Hey Soulies :angel:

Felt like adding this 'experience' today that may 'inspire' you too :blush:

I went shopping today and found NEW yoghurt...
I went to the library today and got two Audio books that I really wanted to 'read'.
I needed a NEW braces and I had found the ones I wanted on the internet so I went to the Pharmacist to ask if he could order them... Yep, in a record time of 90 minutes :D I got my 'desired' NEW and awesome 'braces' :woohoo:

This might seemed 'silly' to tell what I got all NEW today but there is 'lesson' in it...
It made me so :wild: today...

:bow:When you have LOST everything that is dear to you... A loved one... Your job... Your health... then you count the 'blessings' coming your way even it's ONLY some 'stupid' yoghurt or a NEW brace... :bow:

If you can find JOY in the little 'Blessings' of each day... That makes a difference...

L.O.V.E, Daryll.
 
Wow, I just had to respond to all of this.. especially that post about little blessings Daryll, thank you! That helps me a lot actually&#8230; I don't really have anyone around to share this with because they wouldn't understand, so I thought to do it here
I can relate to Lark's posts as well, I was a 'fan' from a very young age and used to have a huge crush on Michael as a child, but always got only negative response.. I always kept listening to his music, but didn't really know much about him as a person, which also has a lot to do with age I guess. I was just to young to really pick up on his message, or to watch his short films or follow what was happening in court and stuff..

I remember that night in 09 my brother called me and said to turn on CNN, we both stayed up all night to listen to the story and could not believe it! Our childhood idol, his music had been there all our lives, we really grew up with him, gone?? I was devastated and felt really weird the next few days. I remember there was a party going on in the streets of the city where I lived and everywhere they where playing his music to honor him and I really had to try my best not to cry :(

When I was looking for a new drawing-project a little while later I noticed I had an old unfinished drawing of Michael that I started before all this, so I decided to make him my new project. From there on I just got sucked into it, not only listening to his music but actually seeing the man himself performing it :)heart: YouTube) made me an MJ-addict immediately.. I started researching him like crazy, read all the court transcripts and was so appalled at how he was used like that for money.. I watched all the docu's, tours and everything about him and started feeling so happy on one side to learn about this incredible man with all his love and wonderful intentions to help heal the world, and so sickened on the other side about how he was treated and broken down.. and the saddest part is that he isn't even here anymore and I feel almost guilty for not loving and supporting him this much while he was still here :(

Sorry for me rambling on about this :blush: but I also just wanna say..I lost my job a while ago, which is really getting me depressed lately.. the world seems so negative, people seem so mean and nobody cares about anybody else, just themselves. It makes me so happy to read the things that are said on this forum, to see how everybody talks to each other with respect.. how you all try to help each other out and stay positive and do everything in the name of LOVE :) That's just wonderful to see!

:D Thanks for your story, lil :ciao:

I know, Michael has that 'effect' to WOW you, hasn't he? I 'fell in love' :blush: with Michael when I was only 10 and that is 31 years ago and I'm still :wild: when I find a NEW video on You tube :wub: Indeed, it's a 'treasure cave' :bow:

Well, we're the MJ family hey that Michael 'raised' so... :blush: I know all about the BIG BAD world :beee:

Besides, that IS Michael's message... L.O.V.E :love:
 
Thank you Daryll :D

Yes he has, he WOWed me and I can't stop thinking about him ever since.. :wub: Totally in love haha, and still discovering all the layers there are to him beyond just the 'entertainer'.

'The family that Michael raised' aww.. :) He did very well ;) I still feel a little bit of an outsider here because of that, I missed out on so much :(

And I wanna say; sorry if this thread was meant more to 'inspire' people or to give advice/help.. I just needed a place to 'vent' a bit :blush: and I really want to thank you for taking the time to read & react to my story! :flowers:

You're welcome, Lil :friends:

First, NEVER feel the need to say 'sorry' if you talk about yourself... That's something I have learnt :blush:

Second, I love to talk to the MJ fam :wub: and it doesn't really matter if you grew up with Michael or if you just 'discovered' his greatness... What is MORE important is that you 'respect' Michael and that you have been 'touched' by his Magic...

It fills my 'broken' :heart: with so much joy that people still 'discover' Michael's Magic and message even though he lives in HEAVEN now :angel:

Okay, this thread is about 'inspiring' people :blush: but 'personal' stories vented out here are 'Inspirational' too ;D

If you wanna recieve light and love... You first give it and only then you can get it back in tenfold sometimes :D

Aww thank you Daryll, you are so kind!! :huggy:

You're so right with everything you said, maybe you could learn me a lesson or two! :blush: :D

And I hope we can keep Michael and his message alive forever by talking about him/thinking about him/listening to his music.. he doesn't have to be here physically (I wish he was though :cry: ), as long as he's in our hearts :wub:
 
Thank you Lil for sharing your story! I can understand everything you said, we really are alike. It's it hard to know that he was here with us... we were fortunate enough to live here in the same time with him, and yet we were too blind to see...

As painful as it is we can still give the love. Just yesterday, a girl in front of me in th checkout line decided to strike up a conversation. I was not in the mood to talk. I had just traveled 5 hours on a bus to break up with my boyfriend of five years, and then another five hours back. I wasn't even home yet, I just stopped to pick up some coffee for today because I knew I was out.

I had my headphones in listening to Michael, usually a sign that means "don't talk to me". But she just looked right at me and started talking as if I could hear, so I had to pull them out so I wouldn't seem rude. She was asking me "Have you ever had someone in your life that is like a mom to you, even though she's not really your mom?" I told her yes, and sort of smiles, thinking of the people who bring me warmth, both men and women that have been like parents to me, but I didn't elaborate. I realized then that she had a handful of mothers day gifts.

She said "I have so many, my teacher, my social worker, my soccer coach..." I was still feeling defensive and awkward, I didn't want to get caught up in a conversation right now. I just smiled and nodded, and tried to put my headphones back in. But before I could, she showed me a necklace she was going to purchase. She asked "It's bad to give this to someone with the price tag showing like that right? But what can I do? The package has no zipper, and I can't give it to her opened?"

I admit I wanted her to go away, but I wanted to help her too. I told her she could open the package and place the necklace in a box instead, and that they sold empty gift boxes near the craft section of the store. She lit up and said "Thanks!" and as she walked away she turned and said "Good thing I talked to you!"

I really wish I had been more open to her, I could have given much more then I did. I could have gotten out of he line with her and showed her the boxes, I was in no hurry. I could have told her abut the wooden jewelry boxes they sold there, I used to paint them and give them as gifts when I was in school. When she turned and said that, I was reminded that we can help people even when we don't know it, just by carrying light and love in our hearts.

How do you think Michael felt sometimes to be surrounded by us, the fans, when he just wanted t be left alone? Sure for many it was the only way they know to show they loved him, but he was always strong, always told us he loved us, weather he wanted to or not. This was his spirit of giving, always alive, even if he was down.

Anyway, a great big welcome to the family Lil! We are happy to have you here!:clap:
 
Aww thank you so much Lark!
I know it's pretty bittersweet this way. But we should try to just look at the positives and do good with it :)
I'm really sorry to hear about your break-up, those are always very painful and especially after such a long time. I wish you all the best and a lot of strength with that! In your situation I think you can feel pretty pleased with yourself for answering her, most people wouldn't have.. :yes:
Sometimes it's the hardest thing to care for others when you're really consumed by your own troubles or pain. But the thing is, when you do you receive the same thing back which can help you heal too :)
Michael was the best at that, he could still appreciate the love the fans showed him regardless of the way they showed it.. and he could give it back on top of that! A great example for all of us :D

Thank you again! Have a great evening and good luck with everything you're going through :huggy:
 
Aww, this is such a sweet thread. Let me just say Daz, you have a real calling for talking to people. :yes: I'm glad you are following that calling because, as someone who doesn't have it, I know how much a difference it can make for others. :agree: I can offer words, albeit, they're wise words sometimes, but you can offer love and don't you ever let anyone take that away from you because wisdom without love is empty.
