This week Alexandra shares how being a parent, single parent and a parent with grief is really hard. Children just know what hot buttons to push with their parents and it's all in a continued need to feel safe and secure. It seems the opposite of what we would all think, that it is an attempt to push us away and yet, it's really to connect with us. This can be incredibly hard to keep in mind when our own capacity as adults is not great and then add a layer of grief. In the end, we are all doing the best we can with the resources we have. And the biggest message of all is we are all not alone. We can come together as a community and support each other as we navigate this thing called life.Connect with Alexandra on her website, forwardtojoy.com, or send her an email at [email protected] or topics on this show may be triggering.
