The willingness to share our story signals a desire to leave a legacy and to turn pain into a message of hope for others. Mershon Niesner, author
I was recently a guest of Motherless Daughters Ministry for a live zoom interview/podcast. One of the topics we discussed was the importance of telling our stories as motherless daughters.
Why is storytelling important? As stated above, sharing our story can turn pain into a message of hope but it also allows us to keep our memories alive for a lifetime.
Also, if your story is a secret, overtime the secret itself can do more psychological damage than the event.
Affirmation: When appropriate, I will share my mother loss story.
Coaching questions: If you’ve never shared your full story or haven’t shared it in many years, with whom might you confide? What difference do you think sharing your story will make in your life and in the life of the person with whom you’re sharing?
