1986 Letter from Easter House Caseworker

2013/11/16 - Suz 2 Comments

I received this letter from my Easter House caseworker, Colleen Rogers, in July 1986 not quite three months after my daughter was born and surrendered.

About Me

Not everyone is okay with living like an open wound. But the thing about open wounds is that, well, you aren’t ignoring it, your healing, the fresh air can get to it. It’s honest. You aren’t hiding who you are. You aren’t rotting. People can give you advice on how to heal without scarring badly. But on the other hand there are some people who’ll feel uncomfortable around you. Some will even point and laugh. But we all have wounds. - Warsan Shire

On Loss

Adoption loss is the only trauma in the world where the victims are expected by the whole of society to be grateful - The Reverend Keith C. Griffith, MBE.

Agree with Adrienne

The loss of the daughter to the mother, the mother to the daughter, is the essential female tragedy. – Adrienne Rich.

Exactly.

"When a mother is forced to choose between the child and the culture, there is something abhorrently cruel and unconsidered about that culture. A culture that requires harm to one's soul in order to follow the cultures prescriptions is a very sick culture indeed. This 'culture' can be the one a woman lives in, but more damning yet, it can be the one she carries around and complies with within her own mind....." -- Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Think About It

All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth - Nietzche

Yes, Kahlil.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars. - Kahlil Gibran
