Narrative Joe:	Analysis
My family wants me to come out to Oregon and spend [Christmas] with them. I don’t think so. That’s never what I did. I spent it with [the deceased loved ones’ family]. I’ll probably do what I did last year. I just sat round and watched the tube, then made the choice to get the pictures out and torture myself looking at them.	Outside agency Anticipated negative outcome
Participant:
I’d say Oregon sounds better than that!	Suggested positive alternative
Another participant:
Besides, sitting around with the pictures wasn’t what you used to do anyway, so, like, it’s going to be new, whatever you do. Yeah, I’m for Oregon.
Facilitator:
And if you do choose to look at the pictures, you might want to choose to make it a time-limited thing. Like say, only 15 minutes and then put them away, and just keep the memories in your heart.	Suggested personal agency Purposeful action
