I have spent the weekend with my aunt Paula. I have been working on a three week course in how to deal with this trauma and how to cope with life. I approached it professionally using my curriculum studies and teacher training methods. This will be an interesting and difficult challenge. The text book is a wonderful help.
Today was pure delight. I sat outside in the sunshine and read the ‘family’ magazine – stories about my father and Paula when they were kids – and talked to Paula and Judy about the family, and life, and important things. This was after Paula had brought me breakfast in bed!
Then I got out the video and started filming and as soon as my creative juices started to work again, I felt nourished.
