Hi @Mazarita
About the delay on the change of your name - I get that - I have a full birth certificate which includes details of my parents etc - but my extra-of-entry does not
And it is great we did that in the same year - I could hardly wait to change my married name - and my maiden name - I have actually hyphenated that to my new name to please my dad when I got something like a little article in a news paper or other current issues and when I have signed my name in all 5 memorial books for the deaths in my family since 2005 no less -
But thinking about writing my son's story is too painful - I read Danielle's story His Bright Light about the troubled life and suicide of one of her kids and know why she wrote that and made myself read it but for lots of reasons decided - no - I can't do that - I will take it to my grave - it is incredibly painful and it's story after all - not mine
But then - if I thought it would do any good I might change my mind - but I would use my non-de-plume if I did thar
Everything we do or don't affects the Universal Collective Unconscious (Carl Jung) it's hard to work through what that means - you might have already worked on that - so I have to think - even my thoughts not to write this has an effect on the future
I have already written under that name - and I used my own name when I first acted on the events surrounding my son's death - so that was pretty big and upset my famiy a lot
But whatever you do - that is your choice and yes - we do feel a need to protect those in the story and I understand that - in so many ways
All the best Maz
