Finding My Way

Let Me Introduce Myself. My Name Is Victor Best. If You Live In Santa Barbara California And You Are Seeking Psychotherapy I Would Likely Be High On Most Referral Lists. I Have Been Practicing For Over Thirty Years. Even Now At Sixty-Eight I Love My Work And The People I Serve. . My Wife Taught Public School Here As Long As I Had Been In Practice Until She Retired Five Years Ago. She Was Struck Down With Cancer Three Years Later. Her Last Months Were Brutal For Both Of Us. She Died A Year Ago And My Friends And I Spread Her Ashes At Sea As She Had Requested. The Experience Has Been So Unreal To Me That I As Yet Havent Come To Terms With Her Being Gone From My Life.. I Have Not Done Well In Dealing With Her Passing. She Was So Central To My Life. Only Through Friendship And Work Have I Kept My Life Together But I Feel As If I Am Only Going Through The Motions. This Day Is A Painful Anniversary And Will Be More Of A Challenge For Me And The Patients I Will See Than Usual. Hopefully All Will Somehow Benefit From It.
