This week, I am spending time with my mom who is now on hospice. As I reflect on all my memories with her, I am so grateful that I have made time to visit with her regularly over these past few years and found ways to heal misunderstandings and resentments that I had from the past.
As we approach Thanksgiving and the season of gratitude, I encourage us all to find small ways to express our appreciations for others, especially parents and siblings who are still with us. Consider having some deeper conversations about finding grace and forgiveness for each other. I have mentioned previously a project that I am co-hosting--A Deeper Connection--a podcast with Crescentia DeGoede empowering healing, strengthening, and enriching the parent child relationship through all phases of life. Listen to the wisdom shared from those that we interviewed. tinyurl.com/Deeper-Connection For this time of year, I especially recommend Episode 4 with Justin Okamoto. He shared with us how he supported his parents in creating a time of gratitude and appreciation to each of the children at Thanksgiving. You will find this part of the interview around 20 minutes into the episode. tinyurl.com/Justin-Okamoto For more suggestions about gratitude practices: gratitude-challenge.html Comments are closed.
