Thanks Traveler, it doesn't sound hokey, it can feel a bit strange though. I'm right off my routine at the moment, however I will get back to these things this evening!
The reminder to be gentle is crucial! I was just thinking about my aunty who has been through something very similar and had that realisation that her journey was quite slow and spanned across her entire lifetime.
Her life is very simple, she built a community around her and worked part time but I remember that she also spent alot of time alone. She dedicated her life to her healing and I can understand how that time alone for self care and nurturing must have been crucial.
I've been thinking about reach out to her actually.
