Women who have spent decades tending to everyone else’s needs often carry a quiet, aching grief—the grief of having abandoned parts of themselves along the way. If this is you, know that nothing is lost beyond retrieval.

 

The sorrow you feel is not a sign of failure; it is evidence of how deeply you have loved, how fiercely you have shown up, and how ready your inner life is to be reclaimed. Grief becomes a doorway when you let it speak: it tells the truth about what was sacrificed, and it points toward what still longs to be lived. You are allowed to mourn the years you disappeared, and you are allowed to begin again—slowly, gently, with a tenderness that honors the woman you were and the woman you are becoming.

 

Understanding your Enneagram type and using the body wisdom of Gestalt practice is a safe, invitational way of discovering your true Self.
