A taste from the first breath of life, a pattern was established - a newborn girl met with maternal indifference, a mother overwhelmed by her own psychological demons. Through haunting poetic verse, this deeply personal narrative traces the shadow that childhood trauma casts across decades, threatening to engulf the next generation in its darkness.When the narrator becomes a mother herself, she faces her most terrifying reflection - seeing her own brown-eyed daughter suffering under the weight of inherited emotional patterns. "Depression grew worse from the story repeating resentment, the curse." It's at this breaking point that transformation becomes possible.The turning point arrives through meditation - a practice embraced with desperate hope and surprising efficacy. What follows is a profound journey of healing that extends beyond mere self-help into radical acceptance. The narrator develops compassion not only for her child but remarkably for her own mother: "Lost in despair, caught in the web, stuck unaware." This perspective shift opens the door to genuine liberation from generational wounds.Most powerfully, this story reminds us that breaking cycles of trauma requires both conscious awareness and decisive action. While acknowledging that perfect healing doesn't mean flawless living ("I swerve now and then"), the narrator demonstrates how acknowledging our wounds without being defined by them creates the possibility of a different future: "I know where I'm headed. Won't repeat again." For anyone wrestling with family patterns that seem inescapable, this testimony offers both hope and a roadmap toward healing. This episode is also available in the Voice Within: a Storybook by Storytellers Edition I.Here is the link to an interview with Rachel Faith, conducted in 2022.Support the showvoice-within.covoicewithin_anthologyvoicewithin_publications
