Turning Lived Trauma into a Legacy of Hope ❤️
📖📘I’ve spent all afternoon and this evening stepping back in time through the pages of old medical ledgers, piecing together the timeline of my daughter Farrah’s early years for Chapter 2 of my book.
📖 🩺 Re-reading the official clinical notes from those intense hospital visits, the sudden winter fevers, and the moments where her early babble vanished can still bring up emotions.
🥹 As a mother, standing by a hospital bedside feeling completely powerless is the deepest, darkest pit imaginable. But looking back now with decades of experiences and training, I can see that every single step of that terrifying storm was being purposefully guided. 🙏🏻💫
🧩I was gathering the exact puzzle pieces we needed to eventually clear the confusion and find our way through to Farrah’s life as it is now - a university graduate living independently and lots more. 🌈✨
🧩🥹 To every parent sitting by a bedside tonight or feeling overwhelmed by the day or celebrating a new milestone shift and at the same time totally exhausted: you are doing a fantastic job and you are not alone. When we look at the root causes and address these, the impossible becomes entirely possible.
💫So much is being revealed in past medical records and notes and calendars and diaries as evidence for me to have write this Chapter 2; as valuable artefacts that can uncover what autism actually is - so keep everything, diary as much as you can and always go with your gut feeling - it’s always right! 🥰❤️
Sending you all love and big hugs,
Caroline🥰💫
