Comment on Learning the language of emotion by Dr Wood

Thanks for your question, Godfrey:

The language of emotion does not discriminate among cultures, the road to intimacy and connection at its heart requires the preservation of the child part of who we are, in essence our vulnerability. For it is our child who experiences wonder, awe, innocence, longing and the desire to give and receive love. Protecting this part of ourselves or reclaiming that innocence that was tainted or shattered becomes a crucial part of the restoration of who we are as human beings.

Go back to his childhood, remember with him what toys he loved even if there were but a few, go into the early memories of what made him curious about life what made his eyes wide with wonder, and together share memories and time together to rebuild the innocence lost. All things are possible but hold onto the child part of yourself and bring it to him and see little by little what can be found.

Comment on Why do we mourn for celebrities? by Parke

A big part of it is that a part of you, the fan, has died as well. Or more precisely, a piece of your past, broken off from younger and better times. That dynamic certainly was in play with the Michael Jackson death.

I’d add to the list, Volunteer to work extra time during the holidays so more coworkers can enjoy their time with their families. I did this before getting married and it always made the holiday fly by while helping out someone else. Plus there was overtime!
