Dr. Edith Eger

It's better to face it, not fight it.

or run from it, no.

So I did go back to Auschwitz, and today the work I do, that yes, I hold your hand, and when you visit your little room, your little home, the hallway, and you're holding my hand, I'm taking you out of there.

Because that was then, and this is now.

And you can find that little boy in you, the little girl in you, and buy him an ice cream cone because that little boy is crying.

We have unresolved grief.

And I think that's what therapy is.

It's all grief work.

Not what happened, what didn't happen.

Because I remember when my granddaughter asked me to buy her a beautiful dress, which I am very good at, buying good dresses.

so she could go to bishop school to a dance.

And I come home, and out of the blue, I'm crying.

The word understand, I didn't understand.

What's the matter with me?

I just bought little precious Lindsay a beautiful dress, I think it was a Laura Ashley original, and

But I realized that I'm not crying because Lindsay is going to the dance.

I cried because I never went to a dance.

So I think the unresolved grief is important to make peace with.

Find that little boy.

Let him feel the feeling rather than talk about the feeling.
