Learning to Live Between Resistance and Acceptance
from When the Strongest Person I Knew Was Gone — Me · host Jetaime Ribbink
✨ Good morning ✨ Yesterday was a rare, chilled day — no treatments, no injections, no clinic visits, just a quiet walk with Pinky and the dogs before slipping back into pajamas by mid‑afternoon. My girls are scattered across the world, exhausted from exams and braving the cold: Kayla at ‑8°C, Kitty at ‑1°C seeing snow for the first time, and Kira at 8°C with snow predicted.As I watch their resilience, I reflect on my own journey — how illness changed everything overnight, how acceptance has often felt like surrender, and how I’ve fought to reclaim independence in small ways. Walking to appointments, holding onto my car as a symbol of freedom, lacing up my running shoes to feel the echo of strength and shared passion with my daughters — these rituals remind me that independence restores dignity, confidence, and hope. Healing isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence, courage, and carrying forward with gratitude. 💙🎙️ Podcast 8: When The Strongest Person I Knew Was Gone — Me In this episode, I share how silence became my shield, how courage broke through, and how rituals of independence help me rebuild.🌐 Connect with me: Instagram @jetaimeribbink | Facebook: Jet’aime Ribbink X (Twitter): ChangedOvernite | YouTube: ChangedOvernite Podcast: ChangedOvernite — Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Afripods Substack & Medium: ChangedOvernite 🔗 https://changedovernight.substack.com💙 Support the journey: paypal.me/my/profile 🎥 TikTok: @jetaimeribbink#Resilience #LifeAfterLoss #HealingJourney #StrengthRedefined #Motherhood #Gratitude #RecoveryJourney #WhenItAllChanged #FindingMyTribe
