Thanks Sara for reading. I’ve been there too — thinking more deeply about my own story after reading someone else's. It’s comforting to know when someone else feels or experiences something similar.

Family relationships are complicated, aren't they? I still have a lot to work through with my dad. I haven't even begun to scratch the surface yet! Thanks for sharing so honestly, and for linking to my newsletter this week.

So happy to share it! Complicated is right. It took me more than a decade after my dad died to really start working through things, even though I thought I already had.
