"James and Rob: Authentic Mentoring" • James (HVR) and Robert will switch off playing each role as client coming to a mentoring session.

Rob entered James’ office hopeful that these obsessed thoughts of death would stop.

Ok James I’ll start here. Wait there. You know what? There is just here. These thoughts of death appear really strong before special events. Like Im not suppose to enjoy happiness in its entirety.

You asked when it started? It started after my maternal grandfather passed in 1989. Then my dad in 2010 it increased. Then my brother in 2020 I became profoundly guilty because, I, his senior, lived and had similar habits. When I see his picture now I ask why I had the resources medically to live and he didn't. My has mom has this look in her eyes sometimes like Robby dont you die on me too. I could have died a year ago as my veins ruptured and I was bleeding out. And at the beginning of this month I had pneumonia and strep all through my body. Each time I went to a dark and quiet place. I was turning into forgetful ness. It wasn't peaceful. It was just empty with no emotions. My fear of dying is so strong now. My anxiety is out of this world at nighttime.

What do suggest James?
