So you are in the year of aveilus? That's so very difficult. So many jumbled emotions. And they don't all suddenly disappear when the first year ends, but it does get easier with time. My dear father z'l was niftar when I was 20. The end of my teen years. It was sudden. I know how it feels losing a parent.
"Tof Umachol," dearest, I reach out to you with my heart and soul filled with compassion. I'm holding your hand.

23. I had a really strong fear of dogs, linked to strong negative associations. I spent a few years exposing myself slowly. I felt I fully overcame my fear when I lived with and took care of a puppy for 10 days. Now, I love dogs and am so glad I worked on myself to overcome the negative associations.
