Dear Lisa:
Thank you so much for expressing this. I feel both the caring and the
protectiveness in your words.
If as facilitators, we are attuned to the delicate time following a
constellation, and wish to lovingly protect those who have worked from idle
curiosity or sharing that might unwittingly intervene as subtle
transformations/transitions occur surely we would want to show the same care
and more -- to all beings in transition, as well as family members, friends,
and others who grieve.
Even a forum like this one exchanging words and cognitions expressed by the
many poets who love this work must recognize the limits inherent in questions
and answers and pause in silence and respect before certain mysteries.
Thank you, Lisa, for reminding us.
Alison
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
I write today out of respect for Hilary Sullivan, her family, and all
those whose hearts are grieving.
Within a 30 minute period this afternoon, I had the following
experience:
- receiving an e-mail from Brian, Hilary's husband of 36 years,
regarding plans for Hilary's funeral and memorial service this
weekend;
- talking with Brian on the phone about his wife's sudden death; and
- reading this forum's dialogues about our field, life and death,
guidelines for working with constellations, etc., with questions
prompted by Hilary's death.
Please know that I appreciate the space that this forum provides for
exchange of learning and ideas.
Please also know that for those who have had heart-based experiences
or friendsships with Hilary, as well as for her grieving family who
may be reviewing Hilary's e-mail inbox, it is emotionally jarring to
read anything other than sentiments of love and grief about Hilary.
She has not even been buried; it is too soon, especially with the
suddenness and complexity of her death, for didactic, educational
dialogue in a website forum.
Thank you, deeply, for understanding the feeling behind my words.
