Dear Helen,
    I read your column every week faithfully. I was wondering if you see me having surgery again? Last time I wrote you, you were right on the money! Do you see me keeping my job? Thank you. Signed, Just Want To Know.

I'm sure by now, all that was meant to happen to you has. Your layout does show more surgery. If you have already had the surgery in question, then there is still another to follow. As far as your job goes, you will keep it for the time being. Just take care of your health. That is all that matters right now. Let everything else take care of it's self.

Dear Helen,
    Love your column. I have written before. Quite a few times, but my last letter must have gotten lost. I was concerned about my son's well being and was wondering is everything going to be okay for him in the new year? Is he going to get closure in all the turmoil he has been going through for the past year? Thank you and take care. Signed, Concerned.
Your son has a gentle and fragile heart. I'm sure people would be surprised at just how sensitive he truly can be with disappointments and heartache. We all grieve differently. There is no right or wrong way and no time limit. This is going to take your son a long time to get over. The best thing he can do for himself is to get grief counselling. Grief counselling is not just for people who are dealing with death. It's for anyone, dealing with loss, and your son is dealing (in his own way )
with loss. You should encourage him to get this help for his healing process. It would do him the world of good and help speed up his situation. If he doesn't get help, it's going to take about another year before you see him back to his old self.
