But this time I didn't get triggered. I loved on her and I loved on her well. I bathed her and I spoke gentle words of support. I made her laugh, I slept with her every night, I covered her with her blanket each time she lay down in the night. I was present. It was a dry run for her dying and I was terrified at first.
Oh…@Jillean Johnson, the tenderness of these words blows my heart open. So beautiful. As someone who has so often been triggered by family members, I really get how huge this is. Thank you, friend. xo
