Hand Written Letters

It wasn't that long ago that ALL letters were hand written.

Just a decade, maybe two prior everyone had to hand

write letters if they wanted to communicate. The healing

that came with that (quite possibly) is why so many of

these folks remained married for 30-40-50 years. Not to

mention the dramatic lack of suicides in that same group.

Possibly, just as important and healing, were the 1000s of

handwritten letters during wartime that were never mailed.

These acted as "outlets" for those folks who could have

gotten lost down the highway of drugs and/or alcohol.

Today, just as then, take your list that you made from the

previous work and begin writing a letter to each person, one

person at a time, one week at a time. Be careful not to loose

track or forget who you are dealing with. Remember, we are

Dealing with Healing, your healing. So play close attention

to detail as you write each letter to each person.

Try to leave each letter in a notebook so you actually see

the habits and cycles of hurt. If you must, due to content,

place the letter in an envelope with only the first name on

the front. Never address it and never mail it until you have

talk with a trusted friend or advisor. We should NEVER

hurt anyone for our own good. Replacing one hurt for another gets us nowhere.
