The following is my Angela Shelton workbook week 20, July 9, 2015

Discussion:  If you were going through surgery you would have to make a plan. You need to make a plan to remove your sword, too. 

If your child was wounded, how would you comfort them? 

I would first find out what was wrong, how severe it is, and then I would do whatever I could to heal them – or help them heal. Whether it was physical, emotional or spiritual. I would do whatever they needed and/or wanted.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about a plan to remove your sword?  

What do I have to do? How do I do it? How long will it take? How long will it take to heal once it is removed? Will things be different?  Will I really be OK? What if it doesn’t change anything? 

Healing Worksheet:

My plan to remove my sword would have to have:

·         TIME! 

·         Time to be alone with my Father in Heaven – to be still and quiet and listen to my life.

·         Time with Carl

·         Time with Meredith, Allison and Tobie

·         A quiet safe place – like my home – like JTH

·         A big pillow I could punch, cry in or hold, tissues, essential oils, my favorite blanket, sometimes quiet, sometimes music.

·         A place to scream……….if I needed to. 

If I had to tell my child they had to have surgery, I would say:

This has to happen in order for you to be healthy. We will all help you before, during and after your surgery. You can tell us anything you can think of that you will need to help you heal from the surgery and we will also help you think of things. We will help you manage the pain. We will comfort you when it hurts and encourage you to do whatever it takes to heal. Whatever it is you need us to do or not do, we will. We love you and you will be better than you were before.
