Mission Impossible - in Personal Development

We had such wonderful people with us in the Acute Brain Injury Unit – the doctors, the nurses, and in particular the other patients, together with their families, in our small ward of 5 usually, (one bed was kept free for emergencies & there were some) – we were a global mix.

So much to learn and to educate myself about .. strokes, brain injuries, other cultures, different languages – mission impossible to do it all .. but an experience in personal development if ever there was one ...

Power of a Mission ..

The realisation that life balances have changed and the mother daughter relationship is still there, but it’s also turned on its head .. I have to be as much of a mother as I can to my mother in her hour of need: this leads to personal changes, career adjustments, and suddenly realising that there are now two of us ... in my one life – a few major adjustments will have to occur over time!

When a major disaster affects each of us at different times - how do we react? How have you adapted, what have you experienced? – I’d love to hear.
