Normal’s rather boring

Now that Chris is up to speed and getting on with his life, I’ve got a confession to make. My life is nowhere near as interesting as during the ten years of struggle to find a way through madness. Several years have passed since my last heart in my throat incident. I sleep well at night. Chris is going about the usual things that normally someone in his early twenties would be doing, except that he’s in his early thirties. Girlfriend, technical training course, friends. Pardon me while I yawn. No more days for me spent reading shrink lit or finding novel approaches to healing. In a funny way, I miss those days.

That’s all to say, I think that it’s really important to become interested in whatever curve ball life tosses you. Adversity can be a memorable friend.

I’m a mom walking the long road of recovery alongside my son, whose world shifted at nineteen with a schizophrenia diagnosis. This space is where I share our journey as we navigate his healing through a shamanistic lens. I offer the truths we’ve discovered, the mysteries we’re still unraveling, and a critical look at a medical system that often overlooks the spiritual depth of this "dis-ease."
