Yes, telling the story “with utmost compassion“ is the way. Thank you for sharing this intimate experience and all the personal work you did to rescue yourself from resentment.

Thanks, Laurie. I see that you "restacked" the post, I have no idea what that means yet, but I imagine it's a good thing! And I'd love to reciprocate, your mom story was also very powerful. XXOO

Wow Marcella, what a great story. It was especially meaningful reading it on Mother’s Day when I will call my mom and feel guilty that she is at home as well as I am at home, 150 miles away from each other.

Aw thanks Sandy! I know how much you love your mom. You two are fortunate to have each other. Hope Mother's Day was sweet for both of you, that distance notwithstanding.

Just as I remember you, my lovely❤️ Kind and compassionate, with the most all-encompassing embrace I’ve ever experienced from anyone. Your ability to communicate love in silence is profound. I’m so blessed to have known you as a friend all those years ago.

Wow Marcella! That was such a powerful story. Thank you so much for sharing the intimate details and photos. It was even more impactful reading this as I just spent Mother’s Day with my mom coming from a similar background/childhood as yours. I admire your strength and dedication to heal.
