Draw a picture of a significant loss you have experienced |
| SAM: A significant loss is the respect I used to see in my son's eyes. I used to feel like the sun up in the sky when he looked at me. Now all I see is disappointment. |
Draw a picture of yourself at 75 years old. Where are you? Who are you with, what are you doing? Are you able, disabled?  SAM: When I try to picture myself at 75 I just draw a blank. Here are my worst-case best-case scenarios.
Worst case: I
am in the graveyard, cold and alone, dead.
Nobody visits my grave.
Best case: I am well, the cancer is in
full remission. My wife has forgiven my
past indiscretions. We live a quiet,
happy, and healthy life together. Our
son is also happy, forgives me, has a family of his own; they visit us
regularly for family dinners.
