I Can Do This 💗

This is something that has been very emotionally difficult. I don’t usually open up about this topic, but I feel that once you let it out it can be touched by someone that may be going through a similar struggle. I hope this can give hope, comfort, and reassurance that you are not alone. 

In my daughter’s case she is on a recovering path. 

Having seen my daughter go through such extreme struggles and coming to a place of “ I can do this” truly melts a mother’s heart. 

If anyone out there has gone through a similar journey you know how difficult it can be. 

When someone you love more than life itself can not control the heaviness of an eating disorder. When it takes over your life and gives you false signals; you are stuck in its reality. It is very difficult pulling yourself out of that trap. 

I’m so grateful to all the support I have received from family and friends. You truly know who your true friends are during a time of challenge. I prayed a lot and kept my hopes up, but I couldn’t help blaming myself for being part of this cause. I asked myself why? Why did this happen to my daughter? She was such a happy girl always laughing and having lots of fun. The eating disorder came and tried to suck all the life out of her. It was a slow process, but increasingly obvious that there was a problem. There’s a long recovery period. It was not an easy ride.  My daughter is so brave for having conquered this so far. What was truly an inspiration to me was when she after a meal, did this freely. It gave me such joy to see that there is a glimpse of hope and we are heading in the right direction.

I love you Julia. Stay strong, be brave and be your own authentic self.

Love Mom Always xoxo
