To make amends with your loved one, try to be honest about your actions in the rift between the two of you. Tell your loved one exactly what you are sorry about and how much you want to move past these past mistakes in order to make amends. This may be hard for you to do since each of you were hurt enough to be kept apart for so long.  For example, you might express regret about certain things that you said to your loved one or for cutting him or her out of your life. Try saying something like, “I am sorry for cutting off communication with you for so many years. I regret doing that because we lost valuable time. I hope that you can forgive me for that mistake.” Once you are honest about why you want to make amends, you can try to come up with a way to make these amends. Even if your loved one was a major part of why there was a rift between you two, try to focus on your part in the rift and allow your loved one to express any regrets that he or she has on his or her own. Try to figure out the best way make up for anything you did to hurt your loved one and start your relationship anew. For example, you might make up for lost time by spending an afternoon with your loved one every week, or by calling daily. When you are making amends with your loved one, both of you may have lingering hurt feelings. Try to listen to what your loved one tells you about how he or she feels. This will help you to make amends with your loved one and make you feel better. However, keep in mind that this may be hard to do as your loved one recounts what happened between the two of you.  As you listen to your loved one, make sure that you make eye contact (if you are talking in person) and make neutral statements to show you are paying attention, such as “Uh-huh,” “I see,” and “Go on.” You can also show that you are paying close attention and ensure that you are on the same page by paraphrasing what your loved one says now and then and asking for clarification. Try saying something like, “So I think what you’re saying is that you felt disappointed. Is that what you mean?” You can show interest in what your loved one says and try to get more information by asking leading or probing questions. A leading question prompts the speaker to elaborate whereas a closed question does not. For example, you would just get a yes or no answer by asking, “Did that make you feel sad?” Instead, you could ask, “How did that make you feel?” This question is more likely to get your loved one to keep talking. When you first start talking to your loved one, he or she may not be ready to talk. As much as you might want to make amends with your loved one, try let him or her take the lead at first. Try not to push your loved one too far at first in case this scares your loved one away from the possibility of reconnecting and amending your relationship.  If your loved one keeps trying to change the subject away from past wrongs, try not to push him or her to talk about these things. Your loved one may just need to work up to it. Allow your loved one to direct the conversation for a while and then return to the subject later. For example, you might reintroduce the topic by saying something like, “I was hoping we could talk about ____. I know it might not be something you want to talk about right now, but I would like us to talk about it soon. Do you think that would be possible?” When your loved one is dying, he or she will likely be going through a range of emotions. On top of trying to make amends with you, your loved one is also working through his or her fears about death. This might make it difficult to pinpoint how your loved one is feeling in relation to you and your past troubles. If you can, you may be able to help your loved one work through these other feelings as well as you move towards making amends. When you are trying to make amends with your loved one, you should expect your loved one to be angry. This anger may be directed towards you or about dying. If you are serious about making amends, then try to keep in mind that you may encounter some anger along the way.  After your loved one has expressed his or her anger, you can start moving towards amending your relationship. If your loved one gets angry at you, try saying something like, “I can see that you are angry and that is okay. What are you feeling angry about right now?”

summary: Admit your mistakes. Try to make it up to your loved one. Listen carefully. Give yourselves time to get there. Be open to any reaction. Expect anger from your loved one.


Summarize the following:
If you choose to use photographic paper, you can load it into your camera under specific lighting conditions.  For photographic paper, you have to load it either under a safelight, or a flashlight filtered through at least three layers of red cellophane attached to the lighted end. The flashlight must be six to eight feet away, so hanging it from a ceiling and working underneath it is a good way to accomplish this distance. Unlike photographic paper, film must be loaded under completely dark conditions. Practice loading your camera with a simple piece of paper in lighted conditions, and then with your eyes closed to get the feel of loading the film before you attempt to do so in complete darkness. You will have to cut the film down into smaller frames. The size of the frame will depend on the overall size of your camera's body.  For most moderately-sized cans, you can use a strip of film cut into 2 3/8 to 3 1/2-inch pieces. For a camera made from a one-gallon paint can, cut a 4 by 5-inch piece of film. A camera made from a 2-pound coffee can will take a 2 1/4 by 3 1/4-inch piece of film. These measurements apply to the use of photographic paper as well. Use sheet film if possible, which is easier to manipulate as it is completely flat. Make sure to cut down your paper or film in complete darkness. A closet should work fine as long as no cracks allow light to seep through. If you are unsure about the ratio between the size of your film and the size of the camera body, err on the side of cutting too large of a strip of light-sensitive material. You can always trim down the edges of your photo after you develop it.
summary: Choose photographic paper or film. Determine the size of your light-sensitive material.
