Part 2

In the calendars mentioned earlier, she jotted down important dates and appointments. One entry was a visit to her grandmother, scheduled for autumn. She didn’t make it—her grandmother passed away unexpectedly the day before the planned visit. She was only 60 years old, and the client never got to say goodbye. Everything happened in a rush. After the funeral, she had to quickly return to university—exams, classes, life. She bottled up her emotions, never processed them, never cried it out. Over time, after finishing her studies and leaving her teaching job, she stopped using calendars altogether. Everything was digital—on her computer or smartphone.

In 2019, she decided to buy a wall calendar again—she had many physiotherapy appointments and thought it would be helpful to see them in front of her face, to make sure she was always on time, never late, always punctual.

At the end of summer, she started noticing palpitations again. She thought it was due stress, chronic pain, back problems. Her doctor referred her to a cardiologist in the fall, in November. She waited patiently and strangely didn’t feel like speeding up the appointment ( so unlike her).

On the day of the visit—she arrived, gave her details, and the nurse said, “You’re a day early.” It was such a shock to her. It had never happened to her before—maybe she’d been a few minutes early, but never a whole day.

When we analysed the autumn dates during our session, it turned out she had arrived the day before her grandmother’s death anniversary. In a way, she had made it—she had one more day to say goodbye, in another space, another timeline. During the session, she cried a lot and finally said her goodbye to her grandmother in a mental process.

Her grandmother had died of heart problems, and she was at a cardiologist’s appointment. The cardiologist once again diagnosed her with hyperthyroidism. She responded well to the medication, and her thyroid markers stabilized quickly. She felt well and was able to stop the medication after 10 months.

Until the next time… but that story will come later, as the client is still in the process.
