The girl in my avatar has a tragic story. Her name is Chloe and she was 19 years old. She was in love with the artist, but he was in love with her sister. The night after the portrait was finished she committed suicide by drinking ground up match heads.
From that day on, in the 1860's, all men have drunk a toast to her before going to war.

She is a symbol of purity, constancy and love.

That's why I point to her.

I had to reschdule a client yesterday to today and it was because of my dad in a nursing home. The conversation turned to death and dying (alonne, specificically) and I upset him. I didn't mean to but I seemed to awaken his deeped darkest fears. I think I have an unusuall perspective on death and feel like I failed to keep myself in check - which is a very hard job in itself. . Ugh... I feel awful.

What is it that you told him?

He is an older gentleman and has an alcohol problem. I think I brought to surface his fear of dying alone - like when people find you days later..... It could be possible for him, but I was talking about my dad and his best friend and dying in general and it apparently rnag his fear bell and I didn't mean to and I feel so badly. :upset:

I had a similar situation when my mother was here in June.

The fear of death (a fairly lonely one) is haunting her. Religion is no longer enough for her as the end draws nearer. I could not bring myself to even try and offer her any comfort.

At least you have the "decency" to feel awful. I just feel indifferent...
