I am so sorry to hear this. We are two of the many people whom his guidance saved. He saved more than a marriage, he saved us from disintegrating as humans. The words he said stay with me and I tell them to others. For example what does it mean to “take care”. And when a couple are too close there is no I and you, so we can’t say “I love you”. That there is a life preserver built for one for each of us. That when he was nervous about a presentation, he jumped into the lap of an elderly lady in the front row. That it’s not ok to be a “white knight”. That the most dangerous animal is the croci-gator because with a head at each end where does it*&*(*??? Thank you, Dan for everything, and to you too, Mary Lay, for being his lovely steady force of nature. He loved you dearly and said so. When I turned red in sessions he asked my husband—why aren’t you reacting too, where is the balance? And he alone could open my husband to counseling by having him write poetry. He said schizophrenia was a Polish word (when I was diagnosed with it, and I am not10 He threw stuffed animals at me to keep me from over-talking, ALL in good humor. When later in life we came back to him for more counseling he said to us, oh come on, you two know what to do, go home and work on it.. he treated us with love, which was novel in our experience with so many professionals.He made the difference in our lives. We thought the world of Dan, and I woke up this morning feeling something was wrong with him, only to find this obituary saying he died one week earlier. So sorry, but his memory is lasting.
