This morning I dropped in to spend time with mum in her home. She was sitting outside in the sun. She is like a cat who often finds the sunny spots then curls up for a sleep! It does her a lot of good. But she was not in a good place within herself and wanted to just go to sleep permanently. As Ive been discovering, that usually means she is experiencing pain. The physio came and I told her of all mums different vocab expressions that she uses instead of pain and that she was manifesting the emotional and mental symptoms. Emma, the physio was really beautiful in the way she related with my mum. 4 healing strategies: 1. Gave quality time with lots of listening, empathising and encouraging. 2. Did practical activities that assist in the healing and giving a sense of progress on the healing journey. 3. Gave a relaxing and gentle massage. 4. Right near the beginning when I told Emma my mum was manifesting mental and emotional symptoms of being in pain, had the nurse administer pain relief. This worked magic that was a foundation to build on! When I came back an hour and a half later, it was like mum had a new personality! Happy, content, satisfied and blissed out!!! Yay!!!
