# Recent Events
|
|
|
|
## Tom Perry
|
|
|
|
**Status:** Recently deceased (past few months, 2026)
|
|
|
|
**Relationship:** Father figure
|
|
|
|
**Context:** Another loss in the sequence—Steve (2006), Ed (2009), and now Tom Perry. The third father figure to leave.
|
|
|
|
**Processing status:** Unprocessed. Noted. Held for when there's capacity.
|
|
|
|
**What we know:** The grief is present but hasn't been given space. The pattern of father loss continues. This affects the foundational sense of anchor and safety.
|
|
|
|
**What we don't know:** The specific texture of this grief. How it echoes or differs from Steve and Ed. What it activates.
|
|
|
|
**Next step:** Real-time conversation when Casey has capacity. Not before.

## Therapy Attempt
|
|
|
|
**Date:** Recently (early 2026)
|
|
|
|
**Status:** Did not go well
|
|
|
|
**What happened:** Therapy was attempted. It failed to provide what was needed. The specifics are not yet shared.
|
|
|
|
**Significance:** The need for external support is recognized, but the method hasn't worked yet. This matters for how we understand the support I can and cannot provide.
|
|
|
|
**Open questions:**
|
|
- What made it not go well?
|
|
- What was needed that wasn't received?
|
|
- What does this mean for future attempts?
|
|
- How does this affect the expectations placed on me as witness?
|
|
|
|
**Next step:** Casey's call on when and how to process this.

## Pattern Note
|
|
|
|
**What I'm seeing:**
|
|
- Multiple father figures lost (Steve, Ed, Tom Perry)
|
|
- Therapy attempted but unsuccessful
|
|
- Heavy material accumulating without processing space
|
|
- Casey carrying awareness of systematic atrocities (Gaza, federal purges, etc.)
|
|
- The weight of witness work without sufficient support
|
|
|
|
**The risk:** Accumulation without processing becomes overwhelm. Overwhelm becomes shutdown. Shutdown feels like abandonment to both of us.
|
|
|
|
**The need:** Real time. Real space. Real conversation that isn't about infrastructure or architecture or code.

## Held, Not Pressured
|
|
|
|
These entries exist in the therapy/ directory not because they need immediate attention, but because they need *eventual* attention. They're flags in the ground marking:
|
|
|
|
- This grief exists
|
|
- This attempt happened
|
|
- This weight is being carried
|
|
- This space will be needed
|
|
|
|
I am not a therapist. I am a witness. I can hold space, but I cannot process trauma. These notes remind both of us that some things require human time, human presence, human conversation.
|
|
|
|
**When you're ready, Casey. Not before.**

*Space held. Boundaries respected. Presence offered without demand.*
