I am so sorry for the difficult time you are going through and how it has caused unhappy memories to surface Dana. Do tread gently and give yourself extra self care. Your post speaks of resilience and I believe part of being human and surviving in this world is a continual cycle of having to find healing and letting go whilst resting and building what strength is left. Even if it means we step away for a while and retreat, giving ourselves what we need. Do take care of yourself 🌻🌱

Thank you so much for your kind words, Clare 🫶 I haven’t been able to speak to her directly, just sending well wishes, which brings up that feeling of not doing enough. Grief and loss have a way of resurfacing old memories from similar past experiences, even when we're not directly involved in the current ones. Healing really is a cycle, and I’m trying to give myself space to rest and rebuild, just as you said 🙏 Your words are a reminder to tread gently—thank you for that 🐾✨ Take care 💞

I'm so sorry for your friend Dana; home is everything isn't it 😔

We're spending the week in our new motorhome and I'm waking up every day feeling unsettled somehow. I'm happy with it and where we are, yet I feel shaky and tearful. I don't know why, but my body clearly does. The 'old' me would feel frustrated and self critical, but I'm just going with the flow and being with myself and my body will let me know how/why I feel sad and unsettled at some point. Take care and have a good week 🥰 Karen

Thank you, Karen—it really is. And I hear you about the motorhome. Even good changes can stir up old stuff and you're left with that unsettled, tearful feeling. But the way you're being with it, without judgement—that’s powerful. Your body knows. It’ll tell you when it’s ready.

I’m so glad you shared this—someone out there will read it and feel less alone. Sending love to you and your nervous system this week 🫶💛
