I read it and immediately connected to the feelings and emotions of a mother trying to do the right thing. Not getting it right all the time. Wrangling with the feelings that come with that.
BUT, Galen does not dwell on the negativity I often feel. She draws from her own belief that we can be HAPPY, if we work at it. Happy is not a word usually associated with having a child with a life-threatening illness or chronic condition...but her words make sense universally.
Please take a look at As It Is by Galen Pearl on her blog: Ten Steps to Finding Your Happy Place. I may not have found a way to stay happy all the time, but there can be a lot of comfort for many people there.
Thanks for the recommendation. I look forward to checking out this blog. Hope all is going well for you and the family. xo, Shannon
