Reframing is a term from cognitive psychotherapy which simply means seeing something in a new way, in a new context, with a new frame around it. Elaine Aron, author
At a recent, online, author event, I spoke with a woman who had lost her mother as a child. Now, in mid-life, she’s losing her precious step-mother to Alzheimer’s.
She and her sister are devastated by the prospect of losing two, beloved mothers. Their attitude, however, is keeping them positive and strong. She said, “We tell each other how lucky we’ve been to have two mothers who loved us so much. Our sadness comes from an abundance of love.”
Affirmation: I will reframe my life experiences.
Coaching question: What message do you need to reframe?
Life after losing a mother 
Having had a damaged mother encouraged me to try extra hard to be a calm, nurturing, encouraging mother.
