Yes. I'm always curious when I read really visceral, raging pieces about childlessness by women in their 50s. At some point you have to change the way you look at the thing. I lived for a long time in the shadow of my mother's early death and let it define me, and let its loss affect how happy or unhappy I was, for far too long. I won't let being a non-mother do this to me. Whether that's surrender, or something else, I don't know, but I love this topic..Different Shoreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552043510975777003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-71294032851538120222020-02-21T15:40:12.787+13:002020-02-21T15:40:12.787+13:00I love this, so much.

I felt a lightness when I surrendered to our decision to resolve and leave they struggle behind, but I have to continuously surrender pieces as I go, dealing with those moments of bitterness and then letting them go, so that I can truly feel like I'm moving forward and not stuck. Resolving, truly resolving, is such hard work.

I'm learning that if I can't get to gratitude, then go for acceptance, now I see that surrender is the first step. Currently it's to a coaching program I signed up for in November. Things are getting messy and I want to run, in fact I keep trying to run. And that's why I paid for the entire year up front. Because I knew I'd get to this point and learning to surrender to the process is where most of my learning/shifting is going to take place.

I didn't realize that sometimes I aim first for acceptance, which doesn't go very well. I see that surrender is an important step that shouldn't be skipped.<br /><br />I'll be working on my own surrender.
