You do not need to explain or feel shame. Women have made this decision throughout history. We have

the right to care for ourselves and our families.

You're most welcome, Sarah.

And...I want to thank you for your fine teaching at Yoga Works in Westlake Village when I was able to take your classes for a short time.

Someone, somewhere most definitely needed these words. I believe this is the right kind of self-ish, knowing yourself and your families needs enough to make the harder choice. Hang in there, you are strong and whole and brave. xo

Dearest Sarah -

So many thoughts and feelings come up. I understand. I hear you. This is not an easy decision, but you are making the one you feel is right for you and your family. You are so brave! Brave for making the decision and so courageous to share all of your raw and heartbreaking thoughts and feelings that are a true part of this experience, and also a part of helping to heal and get you through. Thank you.

I wish I could hug you ♥️

I wish it didn’t have to be brave. I wish people could just talk about this.

I know. And me too. It’ll be like that someday, I think. But it starts with people being brave. ❤️

Thank you for your honest sharing Sarah. My thoughts are with you at this challenging and difficult time. I know you won't have taken this decision likely. I totally understand your reasons, and I'm glad that you live somewhere where this choice can still just about be a possibility. Sending you much love xx

You are so courageous. I am grateful for your openness. Grateful for your processing. Grateful for your choosing of you. You are a (s)hero. Unsung. (S)heroic. Making the most difficult of decisions. It bears repeating - you are courageous. Love you dear friend.
