My next episode is filled with love from my mother. I explained my PTSD in my last episode and how it reared its head in over the years. This week we are talking to my mom about the original situation and how she felt going through it. Her perspective as a mother.
Traumatic events can do a lot to the person that they happen to but when you’re a mother it’s almost like it shadows you. You feel when your child is hurt, you feel when they’re in pain, you feel when they need help, you also feel so helpless when there is nothing you can do but sit back and hope everything will be ok.
I’ve done a couple episodes on child loss. This one is very different my heart goes out to all the families that have lost a child, I couldn’t imagine. But this episode highlights the ones that weren’t lost but have to deal with all of the trauma that comes after a catastrophic event. Perhaps lost mentally but not physically.
How can you be there for them? How do you just sit and watch your baby going through pain physically and mentally knowing all you can do is physically be there. You sit and watch them go through feeling it as a mother in a similar but different way.
My episode comes out Tuesday!! I can’t wait to share my mother’s words and perspective with this whole event.
