I’m happy to hear that she is having a better day. Every journey is different. I think trauma is more prevalent than people realize. Recent memories are lost first, leaving those with cognitive issues living more in the past, sometimes with regrets. Hugs to you, and thank you for your reflections.
Happy Birthday, Patricia! Your life is full and just beginning. This is such a brave, honest, and inspiring post. I am only five years behind your mother in my journey. I am writing from that perspective in much the way that you are. I choose happiness and love. I am unable to give unless I take care of myself first. I am affirming health and wholeness. Therefore, I often say no in order to say yes. You are realizing this early, so I know that you are going to be fine. My mother passed away just after my fifty-seventh birthday. I was blessed to be with her and holding her hand as she left. Hugs to you.
Cathy, I am overjoyed for you both in your health and wholeness, as well as your perspective on life. My in-laws are the same age as my mother; their health and outlook is very different, and to be fair, their childhoods were not traumatic as my mother's was. There is nothing I would love more than to lift the burden of mom's childhood off her heart.
It is a sad fact that memory loss destroys the current and leaves the bitter past vibrant in her mind. She is having a better day today; fingers crossed that it continues trending up.
Happy birthday, Patricia! I am happy to hear that you are taking this day for yourself. I am lighting my candle to celebrate you and your special day. It is okay to set boundaries, in fact, it's healthy. Appreciate your walls today, constructed and erected to protect you, even if only for today. 💜💜💜
I just happened to read this quote from TUT, The Universe Talks. Thought it was fitting.
It's truly a sight to see, Suzanne, when the inhabitants of any planetary civilization cross the tipping point and begin to individually accept complete and eternal responsibility for their own happiness.
Yet, this hardly compares to the mountain-quaking, body-shaking, polarity-flipping, hero-making occurrences that transpire when such inhabitants graduate to accepting complete and eternal responsibility for their every twinge of unhappiness
Patricia, this was beautifully and full of self-love.
Thank you.
