Saying Goodbye Well: Seasons of Motherhood with Rachel Blackston and Susan Tucker

Kindred Spirits and fellow writers for Red Tent Living, Rachel Blackston and Susan Tucker take time to ponder seasons on endings, specifically in the context of motherhood. From a story shared about the ending of childhood and start of the adolescent era to a longer look at the seasons of parting with a child as they embrace their adult independance, Rachel and Susan not only find language for the bittersweet grief of a mother learning to let go, but also the sacred privelege of raising securely attached children who want to leave and understand how to leave well. Wise and winsome, this conversation is a true delight.
