I had a moment today
Sitting with someone in a very tender place
whose heart was breaking.
Full tears.
Real pain.
And all I could think was…
does their mom even know they're hurting like this?
Because sometimes they don’t.
Sometimes our children are out in the world…
living, hurting, figuring things out…
and we’re not the ones holding them in those moments.
And today, that was me.
I was the one sitting with them
Holding space for them.
Caring for them in a moment their heart couldn’t carry on its own.
And it reminded me how sacred this work really is.
Not just as a therapist…
but as a mother.
Because one day, my children will be out in the world too.
And I can only hope
that when they’re hurting…
someone will sit with them, care for them,
and hold their hearts with the same level of intention and compassion.
❤️🩹🤕This work is a privilege.
If you’ve ever had to trust someone else to care for someone you love… you understand 🤍
