Loss and Difficult Life Events

James wheeled his sister to a dock, maneuvering her wheel chair to the boat for her first boat ride. They were both so excited. As James went to the boat to see how to get her wheelchair onto the small sightseeing boat, Jenna looked around and marveled at the view. As a paraplegic from birth, she had never been on a dock before. She was having trouble moving her wheel chair, as she hardly ever used it, preferring her power chair; but an electric chair was going to be too hard to maneuver on this trip.

James heard a splash.

Years later, his life was a dark struggle. Images of struggling under water with chair restraints flashed in his mind hundreds of times a day. It was all his fault! He should have never left her alone. He should have never even thought of a boat ride with his sister! Looking back on it, he hated his stupidity.

After his first session in 5-PATH, James realized his guilt was his way of holding onto his sister, fearing that if he forgave himself, he would forget her, and lose her again. This revelation had never occurred to him before, and it changed his life. “Now I know my sister would want me to be happy,” he said. “Everyone told me it was ‘just an accident’, but I couldn’t accept that. I knew it was my fault … but that was only because I missed her so much, and couldn’t let go. My sister was my best friend, and she’s gone. That’s what’s been hurting me. I now see that I’ve been punishing myself because … well, because I sort of thought if I could figure out where it went wrong, I could change it. … but, now that I say it out loud, that is obviously ridiculous. … Wow, that’s so weird. Why did I think that?”
