We are sometimes surprised at our own behavior after the traumatic loss of a child. We may have bouts of depression, anger, or feelings of going crazy that raise havoc with our personal relationships. How many times have we felt annoyed thinking that our partner or family members were pulling us down when we were trying to keep our energy up? How many times have our partners felt that we were pulling them down? Today my guests and I are going to help you to identify your personality pattern. The patterns that trigger Read more
