Six months after the accidental drowning of her 14-year-old daughter on a school camp, her
mother Katherine remained consumed by rage, grief and blame. She was depressed, her type
two diabetes poorly controlled and she was about to leave her husband.
We worked on validating and helping her to understand her emotions. She wrote a letter to her daughter, telling her how much she loved her, forgiving her for leaving them and accepting it was no one’s fault. Gradually she became more positive, started enjoying her work again, got
her diabetes back under control and rekindled her marriage.
