...See more I will be 35 in less than a year and am realizing that there are so many things creating problems that I need to process and needed a space to do it. It is helpful when I have a group of people that can provide insight and that is what this is all about. I intend to speak about: grief - My Mom passed recently and I cannot imagine a future without her suicide - my constant battle with keeping those thoughts and actions at bay, it is more complex than people realize. People do not choose to die this way, they feel forced or obligated. having my voice being allowd/heard - many women struggle with this but I think a lot of women of a certain culture (like mine) have a more difficult time with this as it is so normalized, you do not even realize you are a victim of your voice not being heard but rather you are put on a pedestal for being a good daughter/wife who always does what people ask of her. Cultural identity - Being born and raised Canadian, I have been excluded from the cultural group my parents came from. They say you are too Canadian. Even the people born here of the same background say I am too Canadian and do not belong. However, the Canadians see me as too cultured. I hope this works out. :) I hope I do not get lost in the pile.
