15. Sending hugs and healing energy, Sparkly. Thank you for this brave, inspiring post. Good for you for

writing a memoir, but re what you said here

I've started writing memoirs, but get stuck and stall each time there's a painful chapter.

please realize that you don't have to work your way through the memoir in order. Write about what you want to write about, when it comes to mind. As long as you add a note about the time period to everything you write, it will be simple to organize, and you'll probably be less likely to get stuck.

Discovered Dr. Brian Weiss and others, and the belief in continuity of life makes death less frightening.

I'm glad you have that belief. I'm not religious - left the church I was raised in when I was a teenager - but various experiences and especially time with grief support groups, and hearing about experiences others have had, left me with no doubt that we continue on, and there are reunions with loved ones, both people and pets.

I believe our spirits are much more than what we're aware of here, and especially more than any statistics that might limit us. I'm wishing you much more time with new therapies, and I think there's a good chance you'll see Trump get his sorry ass kicked.
