200. The Dreams We Have For Our Children

from Overcome the Overwhelm for Special Needs Moms · host Lauren Lowery

Most of us had dreams for our kids before they were even born.We pictured their first steps. School days. Sleepovers. Maybe even a wedding one day.We imagined the kind of life they’d have, and the kind of mom we’d get to be.And when the diagnosis came, and the delays didn’t go away…When the future got blurry instead of bright and predictable….It hurts.Like, gut-punch, can’t-catch-your-breath, “this isn’t fair” kind of pain.In this episode, I’m sharing 3 things that will help ease that pain and allow you to move closer to accepting what is, and letting go of what might have been.
