Son strives to revive faded
memories of late mom
DEAR ABBY: I’m 52.
My mom died when I was
11. It wasn't until I reached
my mid-20s that I realized I
have no memories other, and
few memories of my child
hood before I was 11. Dad
and I lived a few hours away
from family, and after Mom
passed, no one spoke about
her much. I imagine that was
because it was painful. She
was only 29.
I never cried over her
death, and I don't remember
missing her as a child or
teenager. There are only a
handlul of photos of her and
a couple of passed-down sto
ries. I understand that people
block memories of traumatic
events and things they don't
want to remember. I remem
ber the night it happened in
detail, but not the memory of
her. I have seen a few psychi
atrists at different times dur
ing the course of my life to
deal with stress and daily life
issues, and while they were
aware of my background, we
never really got into this.
For some reason it's both
ering me more and more
now. I want to remember my
mother. When I ask her
friends and relatives about
her, I get general answers —
she was a nice person, very
loving and crafty, etc. How
does someone get their
memories back? I’ve heard
hypnosis can help, but I'm
not sure. Do you have any
advice? —SON LEFT
BEHIND
DEAR SON: Many peo
ple are reluctant to talk about
family members who have
passed on because they are
afraid it will be painful for
the listener. Perhaps if you
approached your relatives
and explained why you are
asking for more details, it
might jog some memories.
However, if that doesn't bear
fruit, then talking with a
mental health professional
about the fact that this is
increasingly bothering you
would be a good idea. That
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
person can recommend hyp
nosis if it's appropriate.

DEAR ABBY: I am a
divorced 53-year-old
woman. My children are
grown, and I have a good
career in HR and payroll. It's
not my dream job, though. I
applied to and was accepted
into a Master of Architecture
program, but I just found out
they will accept only 12 cred
its from my associate's
degree, which means I will
need five years of full-time
college to achieve my dream,
while working full-time, of
course.
I’ll be 58 when I graduate
and probably should be plan
ning for retirement, not tak
ing on $100,000 in student
loans. Should I abandon this
dream? Have I run out of
time to take on such a lofty
goal? Or should I just sit
back and relax and travel
now that my kids are grown?
By the way, my retirement
goal was age 72. — NOT
SURE IN MICHIGAN
DEAR NOT SURE: What
you are contemplating takes
a great deal of stamina. Some
individuals in their 50s are up
for the challenge, others not
so much. Before you com
mit, talk to a guidance coun
selor at the school to explore
what opportunities might be
available to an older graduate
with no work experience in
the field.
Would you still plan to
retire at 72? Your student
loans could take many more
years to pay off if you don't
quickly become a high-earn
ing architect, so consider
your next move carelully and
receive as much unbiased
counsel as you can before
making a final decision.
