~My instinct is to protect my children from pain. But adversity is often the thing that gives us character and backbone. It's always been a struggle for me to back off and let my children go through difficult experiences.~

I think at some stage, I would love to have another child. I would love to settle into a relationship that was really important to me. I actually am not good at the balance at that.

Even as a child I had a strong relationship with yearning and desire. And loss. Those things spoke to me.

The loss of a child is the most terrifying place for me to go.
