Listen "WHAT WE CARRY FORWARD"
Episode Synopsis
Send me a Text MessageIn this episode, I had been pondering the work I've been doing on self-love and releasing attachments. I asked myself, what does this mean to caregivers who carry with them a lifetime of changes that traumatically altered the course of their lives. While I do believe that letting go of attachments that result in negative results, is important, we also can't always do it so easily. In accepting and sending love to these "attachments", we allow ourselves to heal, to learn from them, and to be aware and grateful for the positive ways our life has been enhanced by them. Even though, yes, great pain. Great grief. So often as I work on myself, I find concepts that become a bit convoluted and challenging. This is is one of them. As special needs parents, caregivers, we are literally attached to our loved one, because we are responsible for keeping them alive. The RSV Super Bowl Sunday Story. I told the story of the very beginning of my trauma with my son Daniel, when he was 8 weeks old. It is so fresh in my mind, and very hard to let go of. In telling the story, I found myself feeling such appreciation and love and empathy for younger Julie. and John. And what they went through. I sent that story some love. But I believe it will be forever a part of me and who I have become as a human. I hope you enjoy the episode.
