When my father died I went into a state of sadness and everything felt lifeless to me.

I started to develop small tumors in my arm, like he had had. I couldn’t stop thinking about him, like maybe if I had done something differently maybe he would have not died, even though he was several states away and had been ill for some time.

Then I had a Dianetics session and found the link between this loss and many earlier losses, which all were piling up on me at once.

The grief passed through me, and I became myself once more, and stopped growing tumors!

I could think of my father with love, and with joy for having known him, and not with bitterness and regret. It was so much better.

I could enjoy the things in life that he had taught me without feeling grief every time I thought of him. What a relief!
