Hi OwnIt and Treasur - Oh yes, this is MY issue, not his.
"Given the MLC and the fear of death, I'll wager it is nothing more than he sees his own mortality in this man's death and would want to be remembered if the same thing happened to him."
I didn't think of this ^^^. Thank you for sharing that perspective. This resonates with me so I do think this might be part of it for H.
Oh yes, he is pissing me off. Big time. I am working on detaching more. Just when I think I am getting the hang of it, I am tested. (Like the bracelet.) I think it is good. It helps me find the issues and work on them.
Treasur - I love the "churn and avoidance" description. That is exactly what they do, isn't it? His lack of emotion was not unusual for him, not at all.
I am working on not giving the why's of this too much more headspace. There is just no way for me to know.
The only thing I can do is work on the fact that this has stirred up a lot of emotion in me.
