A wonderful commentary, Kate. I’m deeply sorry about all of your losses. It’s not wonder you didn’t feel safe in the world and your conclusion that it’s not fair, is spot on in my view. It’s great that you found the support of a wonderful therapist. Take care
“If we don’t transform our pain, we will transmit it,” usually to those closest to us, the people we love and live with, those who walk alongside us.
I’ve never seen this expressed so eloquently before, and the more I sit with it, the clearer it feels.... This is so deeply moving and beautifully written. Thank you for sharing your journey. look forward to reading more.
Thank you. Those words of Richard Rohr’s were such a revelation for me, so obvious, yet so difficult if we carry pain that we don’t name. But it can also take time and safe spaces for us to be ready and able to name it.
Wow, this is so beautifully written.. it makes me a bit scared to think about how fragile life really is, but it also has a way of sharpening what matters most. And that theory of bent pennies.. I can relate to it for sure. I'm glad that you found your moment to share your words and experiences. Looking forward to read more of it!

Thanks Harriett, yes, those safe spaces to lament and slowly work through the impact of trauma are invaluable.

Thanks for your kind words Nathalie. The bent pennies theory certainly helped to make sense of so much.
Truth. I so look forward to hearing more from you.
Thanks so much Nikki.
