Sally (5:47)

She said I had to tell the truth. I had to admit that I didn't do the good things for mom and it just was a long list.

Dr. Laura Schlesinger (5:58)

Whoa.

Sally (6:00)

Yeah. Yeah.

Dr. Laura Schlesinger (6:01)

Okay.

Sally (6:02)

But for my well being, did you.

Dr. Laura Schlesinger (6:04)

Like all your brothers? Did you have good relations with them?

Sally (6:08)

Yes. Great relationships with all my brothers? Yep. Talked every week. Yeah.

Dr. Laura Schlesinger (6:17)

Well then I'm sure you're missing them a bunch.

Sally (6:22)

I am. And I know I need to endure. I understand that adjusting from death is a process. And I guess what I'm looking for is any advice as to how I maybe can focus my mind better on concentrating on the positive.

Dr. Laura Schlesinger (6:40)

And so tell me. Well, tell me some of the positives in your life, so I'll. We can.

Sally (6:47)

Oh, I've got a loving husband and great children and grandchildren. I have good relationships.

Dr. Laura Schlesinger (6:53)

Then you already have your own answer.

Sally (6:59)

Yeah. Focus on the good.

Dr. Laura Schlesinger (7:02)

When you start thinking of the negatives, go hug your husband. Go write your grandkids a note if you have any. Go bring a neighbor an apple pie you made. Create something positive. There's no other way. We all have to do this. There's no other way around it. There's plenty of negative in everybody's life, and if we sit there and contemplate it instead of addressing the good stuff, then we're going to be depressed.

Sally (7:33)

Hey, that's kind of what I thought, but I just didn't know you were right.

Dr. Laura Schlesinger (7:39)

No, honey, you just have to live it. No, you just have to live it. You have to make yourself do it. Seriously, you have to make yourself do it.

Sally (7:49)

I can do that.

Dr. Laura Schlesinger (7:51)

I know. You're a strong woman.

Sally (7:54)

Thank you.

Dr. Laura Schlesinger (7:55)

I can hear it.

Sally (7:58)

Thank you.

Dr. Laura Schlesinger (8:00)

You're very welcome. Take care.

Sally (8:02)

All righty.
