When my son Jordan was born my life literally turned upside down. You can read about this in full detail in my book and it certainly is eye opening, especially for new mum's. I spent the next 5 years trying to work through all of those emotions, which really were not the result of Jordan being born, but they certainly were triggered when Jordan was born. I know I felt so angry with the whole world. I was full of hate and I blamed the government for removing me from my birth family and I was unconsciously grieving for the loss of my birth mother.

I found this lovely link about "Forgiveness and the freedom of letting go" it's worth the time having a look.

Peace and love
Joy :)
what a journey you have been on! I kinda see some similarities between your experience and some of the young mums that I work with. a number of them have had very traumatic childhoods, a few removed from their mother's care, but it is not until they have their babies that everything seems to unravel. I'm so glad you found your way again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeni, please feel free to forward the link on to any of your young mums, perhaps they might get something out of my posts leading up to the launch of my book. :) The ultimate goal is to be running healing workshops that address many of these underlying issues. xoxox

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel at the moment that you have chosen to share this beautiful blog with me. I will be reading this with interest and look forward to when you release your book and purchasing it for my own enjoyment. The Youtube on forgiveness is definitely one that should be shared for everyone as I believe forgiveness is about healing the hurts. Thanks for the reminder.
