Without going into detail ~ your writing resonates with me today with respect to trauma over generations. The fact that I cannot control much of anything and focus on what I can control ; to relinquish the idea of control … it’s not easy as the worry steps and takes the lead . You are doing your best with a past that remains steeped in pain and then again ~ full of pure love and acceptance.

Perhaps our buckets are more full than we know ~ perhaps we will feel the wet water only when we look

Up and say “ I forgive you both”

I am no expert on grief or worry or what ifs… I am hopeful that Tanja’s love and strength will dry you off and bring a smile to your face. The noises will

Stop - they will .Believe in goodness and

see the beauty in old trees.

One of the tools I’ve been using on my own PTSD journey is breathwork, specifically the kind that triggers a natural psychedelic response in the body. If you want to know more, feel free to reach out.

I've explored that quite a bit and I totally agree with you about how powerful a practice it can be! Thank you for reading and contributing friend.
