SELF-HELP FIRST AID KIT
for our loved ones
Or anyone else we care or feel compassion for...


The most important thing required to gather these items is love.

As we cannot live another’s experience, the least we can do is facilitate “the process”, “the rite of passage” with support, understanding and lots of patience (for the possible long haul) and a box of “goodies” that inspires and nurtures at the same time, in a non-intrusive manner.

I recently gathered such items for a special loved one and constantly kept in mind what would he possibly feel, need, like, use…

When I was in the darkest of dark places, I was alone in a strange city, with no resources to speak of – only the ones available for mass consumption - I would have loved someone to admit to the experience and extend a hand in sharing what they have learned, what tools and or strategies have been useful, even those that weren’t… What to read, listen to, get ideas, solutions, inspiration from. Something!

Since we are all different, it was quiet interesting to search for items that might be suitable for another. However, almost all fell into my lap within a period of three weeks – and, it all started with the idea of one little great book!
