Mother and daughter relationships over the decades with Diane Danvers Simmons

Dr. Jeanette Gallagher welcomes Diane Danvers Simmons, author of My Mother Next Door, to explore how difficult conversations and love over the generations has strapped us as humans.

Today, we are exploring the concepts of sharing past stories, pain, and experiences of decades gone by to release all the soul fragments that so many of women are carrying as baggage of the heart. Listen to us share about being an integral person as the bridge worker for generations to come. We are not here to fix anything but to have conversations that lead to exploring the world with a new set of glasses to look at things in a different way.  We no longer are strapped by the outcomes and dogma of truths that were antiquated.

What is our conversation with our mothers? Are you asking ‘why did it happen to me’ for our story with our mothers, grandmothers, and children? How has history changed our relationship with our parents over the past several decades? How can we honor the process of engaging with our elders and young children in the face of stories of pain, violence, abuse, struggle, and hardships? How did the wars of early 1900’s change human beings and not for the better in caring for self and children?

Can you see the past for what was going on in society and understand the choices families made were doing the best that could be done at the time? Perhaps as the generations have evolved we can heal and let go of the judgement from carrying the old stories.

Are you still stuck in the ownership of the relationship and the identities? Can you not see each other as a person of their own making? Are we tired of keeping secrets of our pain and experiences that have taken us to our knees? Is there a way to verbalize the pain and never give it to another person to hold as victim, alone, or disempowered? Has your mother left, abandoned you in any way, and then in older age resurfaced? Now what?
