115: We are Moving in a School Bus

Episode Pointers:

When Aria died, one of the biggest things I learned was that death can happen at any moment. In one instant, someone you love can be gone.

I’ve wanted to learn how to live again, because I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. And I want to live, I want to have a connection with my kids and be present for them. 

The only moment we have is right now. 

 If you have a dream, or something you want to do, start right now. Something small every single day is how you get to your dreams.

 And for a while it felt like a marathon that would never end. I know I’m working in a way that’s draining for me, and I can’t keep this up forever, but now the end is in sight.

After Aria died, we took our kids to play therapy, because play is so important for kids. I lean more towards unschooling and following my kids' lead, and I’m amazed how constant their learning is, when I don’t even push them to do something. 

I hope this episode gives you encouragement to live your own dream. Your own version of following your dreams.

 There is always a way for you to follow your dreams. One step at a time. You don’t have to have it all figured out before you start. All you have to do is start and the next step will open up to you.

At the heart of everything, none of us know when our last days are, and maybe some of you are just wishing and waiting for your last days to be here, and I see you in that space as well.

 I also hope that you can see this as hope, that you can learn to live with child loss, and you can have dreams and excitement in your life, because you know that death can come any moment, that you want to live now.
