The way you and Ryan explored rituals for resilience and relational compassion resonated deeply. For those of us navigating intensive caregiving without breaks, the idea that self-care can be a form of advocacy for ourselves and our children is a lifeline.
Thanks for this reflection Sarah! I feel like it's essential to have breaks, too, even if they're short. Do you have any family support or respite care? 10 years is a long time to go without a break!

I am so glad to hear that this felt true and helpful for you. It’s so gratifying to know as we go into these rooms that we’re not alone. ❤️
I have never felt alone because I have my inner warrior who rides at dawn for everyone I love. ;)
Heck yes. And also, you provide so much solidarity for other parents like me. You make me feel less alone in the experience I'm having.
That inner warrior rides for us all!
Solidarity is part of that. She sees each of us as sister and brother in this mission toward a more inclusive, less ableist world.
