Lou, I woke to this story, and now your namesake Lou Reed is in my ear singing "reap what you sow". May the barter of care and joy as prayer buoy you all up as Fraser recovers and you breathe freely again. Long may we all keep exchanging good. Mags
Only just read this - how is Fraser doing? What a joyful piece yet bringing us into your terrifying time. I need to read it again for all the points for my own reflection. Upon first read, these points struck the biggest chords: bravely breaking the barrier of asking for help, the power of communities, both place-based and online, and a reminder of the power of prayer. A friend is a very devout Christian, and knows my "great for you, just not for me" stance, and has prayed for those I love in times of great need. And I truly appreciated it, and felt comforted. Thanks for sharing. It will be a powerful book.
Dear Lou. First of all how are you and Fraser? Secondly, deep thanks to Fraser and to you for sharing this experience. As always, your writing resonates on so many essential levels, t opens up my thinking and awakens me to the many limiting blind-spots so many of us share. Wishing Fraser a joyful recovery period and sending love to you. Noelle x
WOW. What a blog. Thank you for writing. So many lessons shared in there. You have created strong communities around you and it’s massive seeing how everything came together at this horrible time for you both. Amazing. You’ve done the work - you do the work - you bring the joy. Here’s to your lovely boyo making a full recovery in good joyful brave time. ❤️❤️
OOO poor Fraser!! I had a liver abcess which became sepsis, after fighting with doctors. Eek. It sounds like you and Fraser have been able to be really open and honest with each other. Sometimes you need your mum there, but sometimes you need the space to do it alone. What a great relationship you have! xx
