#144 - Margaritas for Trauma Healing
Sometimes blessings and support come in the most unexpected forms, and from the most unlikely sources. A phone call in the middle of the night, or a fast-food frozen margarita with near-strangers – this might be all we need to remember we are not alone in the journey. Join us again while we continue the journey at the Shepherd Center, where you will hear sage advice from other SCI families along the way, like Kelly Sydnor, whom you heard a wise text from back in Episode 15. Guide your spirit to a place of rest as you learn about the importance and power of receiving care and support from people who have been in similar circumstances. Your Blink of an Eye Family is here to lend you a hand too.
In this episode, you’ll hear interview excerpts from:
Kelly Sydnor, a fellow mother of a son who has tetraplegia. Thanks to a surprise connection of an old college friend of Louise’s, Kelly, a then stranger, reached out to Louise in her crisis as way of giving back in gratitude to those who helped her and her son navigate the quadriplegia path. She offered Louise a guiding hand along the arduous path of negotiating through the medical sphere while at the Shepherd Center based on her own similar experiences. She is now a dear friend of Louise, as well as a wonderful source of advice and wisdom for Mom’s of kids with SCI.
Our theme music is Victoria Vox.
