Yes, she was an amazing woman and survivor, and I miss her tremendously. Your post brought tears to my eyes knowing how much she respected you and how much you have helped her heal. I thank you from my heart, and I thank God that He orchestrated the events that brought the two of you together. Thank you as well for being there for me and other loved ones during those difficult months prior to her passing.<br />With my love and respect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3207351727628492131.post-83762378037353525772012-10-19T16:09:34.061-04:002012-10-19T16:09:34.061-04:00Dear Erica,

What a ...Andrea, <br /><br />I am so sorry for your loss... <br /><br />What a powerful and moving journey you and your client traveled together. And how beautiful it is that as you were helping her heal, she was in turn motivating you to become a more skilled and talented therapist.<br /><br />She truly sounds like a lovely and remarkable woman... even in her illness, she wanted to find a way to help others - to share her story and by asking you to do so, I think she has provided you with a touching way of respecting the time and work you two have shared together. I believe it's testament to how much she truly healed... and how much you meant to her.<br /><br />Sending you a big hug,<br />DorleeDorleeMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095854625660993531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3207351727628492131.post-30566922888137558672012-10-11T10:36:38.066-04:002012-10-11T10:36:38.066-04:00What a powerful story Andrea.

I have heard it said, and I believe, that God will bring to us the clients who need us, and those who we need. This story shows that so beautifully. I do grow from my clients, both professionally as I reach out to learn new tools to help them, but even personally as I am challenged by their courage and tenacity towards healing.<br /><br />Barbara A.
