Herc,

Not remembering, remembering only partial things can be so rough. It lets your imagination try to fill in the blank spots of memory. It can also be frustrating when you know something is there, you can almost touch it, but it's just beyond your reach. I've found it very easy to beat myself up for not being able to remember big chunks of my initial trauma.

When I spoke with you face to face in April, you gave me a really good piece of advice that your therapist had given to you. It went along the lines of 'Don't worry about what you can't remember, don't beat yourself up for it. Work on what you can remember and deal with that'. I never thanked you for that, but I am now.

Keep pluggin away, hon.
