You have a lovely way with words.

I’m sorry you’re hurting, and I’m sorry an our your mom. That’s so hard. I am mother to one neurodivergent child. I can’t imagine having 3.

I can so relate to the monumental weight of trying to shower and it being hard. It’s one of my biggest struggles.

Thank you for sharing 💕

I am deeply sorry to hear about your mum. I can only imagine your grief 😓 taking a moment to pause to feel humane and still for a moment..a day....a week sounds like a lifeline. Thank you for sharing your story.

That wanting to step up and help. But also having your hands fall with your own kids is tough. We are the sandwich generation

Still up, months later... The Christmas decorations staying put after the stroke made my chest go tight, like the house is waiting for her hands to come back...
