Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Thanks Dorothy, all the kind words and well wishes I've been getting by email have also helped tremendously. I'm going to try some of the blends you suggested. Marlen Dorothy [db] Wednesday, June 04, 2003 12:36 PM Grief Issues Hello Marlen and Violet, Below I copied a post that Gabriel Mojay sent to the IDMA list. After he sent this I recall Marge Clark doing a post of the blends that were suggested after Sept. 11. It is also copied below. I hope that something from this information helps you both. Additionally, I would suggest looking into Bach Flower Remedies. Star of Bethlehem is the remedy for Emotional Shock and Rescue Remedy is for acute situations. If you would like more information about this please send me an email off-list.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 I'd like to thank everyone again, and again!!! you all have been great. Thanks for all the supportive emails and suggestions I've received. It's been a rough week but I know my emotions will settle down as time goes by. Now it's time to get caught up, I have soooo much work to do that will also keep my mind occupied. God Bless ......
