In reply to Cheryl. Hi Cheryl! Apologies for the late reply. I am so pleased to hear my essay resonated with you — I think these feelings are very common at this stage. It creates an opportunity for us to consider any changes we might want to make. Thanks for reading! Sending my best wishes as you navigate this stage of life. Warmly, Susan

Wow, I love this – I stumbled across your website (not sure how!) and resonate with every word you wrote. Especially buried pain coming back, feeling that I lost myself in the child-raising years, and wanting to figure out who you are. I’m excited to read more about your adventures.

In reply to Crystal Stephens. Yes, be your own best friend. Your loving presence is there for your kids even when you don’t feel your best. Be gentle with yourself. Beat wishes with your surgery!

This all sounds very familiar…even the soon to be hip replacement, but I’m in my early 40s and my kiddos ate still in elementary school. I havent made it to the other side yet and hate feeling like these last 4 years of trying to heal my hip, autoimmune and emotional spiral has robbed me of precious years with my kiddos. Im trying very hard to think positively and talk nicer too myself, but just had to type it!?
