This is all so relatable. My six year old daughter is a highly sensitive, highly intuitive, big feelings, big questions child. Recently, she rushed to the window when it got dark. I asked her what she was doing and she said "looking for the first star to wish on." I asked her what she was wishing for, and she said "for people to stop killing other people." I believe the more we talk to our kids about the hard things, the more we ground them in leading from love, the better our world will be.
I love this reflection so much Hannah, and I love your daughter's wish. They are such a reminder that we can learn so much from them. Thank you for sharing.
My first born was 21 when she experienced her first funeral. The saddest part was that it was her Dad’s funeral. Hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was when I had to tell my daughter her Dad was gone. 💔🥺
Oh Carrie, I can't even imagine. Holding your sweet mama heart and that hands that carry so much. Having to face these hard conversations terrify me -- and yet, I really feel the more we can connect in them as mother's we wont feel so alone.
These moments are so hard, yet so beautiful the way you tenderly move through them with your son. 🥰 We always hold their hands, no matter what age, and that is the most precious thing.
This is beautiful and made me cry. My eldest turns 3 in April and all I could think about was him. I want to protect him from the pain this world can bring yet you are totally right, it would be a disservice. We are the ones to hold their hands ❤️
I am crying right there with you. It is so much to navigate. Learning more and more how much we have to hold ourselves in the process too. Thank you for reading and connecting.
