Tomorrow my daughter turns 6 🎂
And it’s also the anniversary of the day I thought I was actively dying…
the day I saw my family mourning me before I was even gone.
That kind of moment doesn’t live only in memory.
It lives in the body.
In the nervous system.
In the emotions we don’t always have words for.
“Anniversary reactions" can show up after birth trauma, but also after miscarriage, the loss of a loved one, accidents, injuries, or medical diagnoses. Our bodies remember — emotionally, mentally, and physically.
This is one of the reasons The Emotion Code has meant so much to me. Because we don’t just “move on” from experiences like that—
we carry them… until they’re gently released.
Flashbacks no longer hold an emotional charge, Fear and Anxiety no longer take hold of me, and it's now just a memory that's a part of my story.
So tomorrow holds both.
Joy and tenderness.
Celebration and remembrance.
A past that shaped me, and a present that reminds me I’m still here.
If you’re struggling with an anniversary, know that healing is possible. And you don't have to do it alone ❤️
