Question for Bernie:
Hello Bernie,
Many years ago you helped me with some anxiety over being abandoned, regarding my mother, when I was an infant. Thank you for that.
I’m 62 and my husband died a year ago. He either had a heart attack or stroke at the wheel of his car. About three months ago, I started getting scared and full of anxiety. Up until then I was okay. Now I think of physical symptoms and I’m twitching all over, so I think I have bad neurology disease. Then I looked up stuff on Google and really scared myself. I miss my husband so much.
Why am I concentrating so much on My body? I thought you might have some thoughts. I have been sober for 34 years. I went to the doctor and he gave me Ativan, but I won’t take it. I heard it is addictive. I wish I could calm down and forget myself. Thanks for listening.
Bernie’s Answer:
Your husband’s spirit is still with you. Be observant and look for signs of his presence. Ask for his help, and quiet your mind.
I have a little book, Buddy’s Candle. I highly recommend that you get it and read it. You can order through my website www.berniesiegelmd.com. Scroll down the Home Page and look at the right-hand column for our Wisdom of the Ages bookstore, click, and order through them.
Think of your mind as a pond.
When the water is still, the truth is seen by reflection.
When the water is turbulent, the truth isn’t visible.
Peace,
Bernie
