How are you ? At least you... Common phrases folks utter when they want to offer support but yet don't know how or are uncomfortable in the silence and want to make you feel better. Most of the time, because they are uncomfortable. It's understandable - how do you attempt console a parent that just said good bye to their child when you have nothing to compare it to? It's uncomfortable for you and damn worse for them. What a person in need of empathy needs is a human connection - They don't wa...

I think we can all agree that for the first time in a very, very long time people around this planet have struggled in some manner.

Self care is often overlooked... especially when you are caring for your child We often overlook ourselves when our children are ill. We burn the candle at both ends and drive ourselves to exhaustion - When your child is fighting for their life, this situation is compounded 100 times. You eat last, if at all and what you eat doesn't serve your body or your mind. You opt to not move or exercise, even more so when you are waiting for your daughter to wake up from her 3rd coma. There are consequ...

Vulnerability is often elusive and just within reach, however, fear has a way of keeping us from showing our soft underbelly. Whether it is fear of the unknown or fear of being hurt - that four letter word keeps many from asking for help or even just reaching out for a person to talk to. When you are walking through the darkness that fear is magnified as your back is already against the wall.... Ironically, that is when you need to be vulnerable the most.
