Loved reading about you and your sister. It brought to mind memories of my sister who is 11 1/2 months younger than me and with whom I shared a bedroom for 20 years.
Thank you, Marie! It’s a special bond for sure. An amazing opportunity to learn the importance of rupture and repair in close relationships!
On another note, I’ve been exploring IFS recently and am finding it incredibly helpful even after years of traditional (and not so traditional) therapy. It’s an important perspective for understanding how the human mind and body adapts to stressors. We are wired for survival!
Linda. Your voice is so lush and luscious whenever you recall your sister. It is rich with the details that show us that love matters, the details of connection that save us from the threats of solitary suffering, the details of imagination and blessing. Thank you for how you deeply honor and keep Beth alive for yourself - yes - but for all of us. And you remind me to treasure my own sister even more, while I can. Xo
