My mother has always played a lead role in my story. It has taken a lifetime to untangle threads. It wasn't until her death that I felt free to look at it all. Free to not protect her or me. I wanted to be done with my story, bury it beside my mother's grave. Yet to move beyond it, I had to go through it. Writing it down, forced my hand and my heart to stay with the story to the end and then rewrite it. Take what I want to keep and leave the rest. Staying with the pieces and gathering them, I gathered myself. There is creative power in pain. Crafting a new narrative, our wounds become the womb where we learn to love ourselves.
