My Mosaic

My guess is that kids are pretty resilient @Bow . I did read a paper once, and it was talking about how often, it is better to tell our kids something because if we don't, they end up 'imaging' things that may be way worse - this ends up being more harmful to their mental health.

I have confidence in you that you will approach it very gently. Then perhaps it's about monitoring her responses, and letting her ask questions. You may be surprised in that she takes it pretty well!

All the best.

Are you okay @Bow ? Did you speak to your daughter?

I did talk to her @tyme im not sure she really understands. Or maybe it wasn’t such a good idea right before bed. I asked her if she knew what it meant when someone died and she didn’t, which I think I was a bit surprised by. We have had a few animals die recently and thought maybe she had watched enough tv and stuff to understand a little. She didn’t have any questions. But I think I will bring it up again tomorrow and see where she is at with it.

Good on you for starting the conversation @Bow . She will probably need some time to digest and then come back with questions later.

Are you okay after the conversation? I recognise it wouldn't have been easy for you either.

Trying to be ok @tyme just want to go to bed I think. It’s been a long day. Thank you

Please take care @Bow . We will chat tomorrow.

@Bow sad to hear where you are at and about your stepdad's situation 😞

Sending wishes for you all...

Struggling today. I dropped mum down at the hospital early this morning and now it’s just me and my daughter at home. I didn’t sleep well. I’m tired.

I had a dream last night, really random and it featured an old school friend, well we weren’t really friends but she was in my grade. I went looking for her on Facebook as you do, just to see what she is up to these days. Lead me down the path of scrolling through our high school reunion FB page. Seeing what everyone was doing.
makes me realise all the things that I am missing out on. 😩

Hey @Bow is it a full moon or something? I didn't sleep well either.

Social media can make us all feel that way, I hear you. I feel the same if I compare myself to others. I try and focus on myself and what I'm doing well. You've been through a lot and it's not your fault you're experiencing these challenges. Don't be too hard on yourself Bow 💝
