One memory that "haunted" me recently was about a car accident that happened to a friend of mine during my primary school years. I have never wrote about this memory but it is part of a repeating thought that pops up often when I am in the car with friends. Her name was Margarida and she died on that car accident - it was one of my first encounters with death and it was weird to see and to feel ta contagious sadness among the people at the funeral. At the same time, everybody was speaking about her and recognising her existence ("did people do that when she was alive?").
The emotion attached to this memory is fear and confusion: fear that a car accident could also happen to me, and confusion for not knowing why she died, why her and not any other of us? I don't remember anyone explaining me what death was apart from the same old-story that she is an angel in the sky.
The point of sharing
this memory is to investigate the emotions within the memory in order to
support me to understand how my mind works and how to assist myself in
recreating my stability.
I see, realise and
understand that it is not a coincidence that this memory pops-up often in my
mind and I will be walking the Self-Forgiveness on my next post.
