How Robin's Death Started Tara's Search
- After Robin died, Tara Swart says she saw robins constantly, then woke at 4 a.m. to a hard shove and a hazy figure of him beside the bed.
- She briefly tried mediums, felt unimpressed, and decided she should learn to communicate with him herself.
The Body Can Remember Dates The Mind Forgets
- Tara Swart says trauma can surface through the body before the mind recognizes it, so grief is not just cognitive.
- Her pain began on October 4, then she discovered it matched the day she brought Robin home to die.
Why Grief Can Feel Like Psychosis
- Tara Swart argues grieving people can mistake intense altered states for madness because grief can resemble psychosis.
- She experienced thought insertion, knew psychiatry classifies it as a schizophrenic symptom, and used that framework to question her own sanity.
