That's perfect that he has the examples. I hope he pursues it while in.
It's weird but the the images are still emblazoned in my brain of my dad working on engines and heads and taking them apart my whole life. I can still see the processes he did as I am working on mine. It's actually not to terribly difficult now that I am in it, it's just tedious and frustrating, and still not knowing exactly is the clanking sound I have been hearing...
The hike was a battering ram in hopes of forcing my ass to get back to running so you have me beat there buy a long shot. My mind and body are in a constant battle over just doing it and excepting the inevitable pain so I haven't been able to begin again. Maddening I tell you. But my calves are screaming still and I don't think I would make it to the end of the drive way at the moment so sometimes rest is mandatory.
Trauma... there is a nuance to talking with with people in trauma and grief that is very individual to each situation. I have two fence posts now in my life, one at 12 and then today. I'm going to have to write a post about it since the 12 year old experience was pretty intense.
