I had to endure 2 years of counselling during my midwifery training so that I could learn to cope with vomit well enough to work as a midwife.

Aren't mothers all quite alike in their fear for their children? <BR/><BR/>The worst that could happen? I suppose that depends on the day for me. Some days, death seems like more than I could bear if it were my children, and other days I'm able to trust that death is a beginning.Wooly Workshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310287894682760233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-49909627781579975472008-04-29T18:32:00.000-07:002008-04-29T18:32:00.000-07:00Dear Cait,A very interesting blog on Fear.I can wr...Dear Cait,<BR/><BR/>A very interesting blog on Fear.<BR/><BR/>I can write so much here Cait, but it would be just the same as you have wrote, we are so similar and so alike. I would kill to protect my children from harm, would swim the deepest ocean for human or animal to save them from drowning, even though I have a fear of swimming in the sea.<BR/><BR/>I have ordered the book on FEAR which you have kindly given us the info on Cait, thank you.<BR/><BR/>Camilla.xxCAMILLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741990891794651299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-695097514755369852008-04-29T13:30:00.000-07:002008-04-29T13:30:00.000-07:00The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - be...The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - beware of fear - so said, if I remember correctly, Helen Mirren's mother.<BR/><BR/>Yes, plenty to reflect on, Cait. <BR/><BR/>I like your last line.

Funnily enough I am not afraid of the bigger things (can grapple with blood, walk down a dark street etc) but it's the everyday fear (mainly since becoming a mother, I think) that cripples me. <BR/>Much to reflect on here, as Frances so rightly says. <BR/>jxExmoorjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230395732150659356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-12818231424790949192008-04-29T06:11:00.000-07:002008-04-29T06:11:00.000-07:00Cait, once again you've written a blog that will g...Cait, once again you've written a blog that will get us thinking, reflecting.<BR/><BR/>Wariness is another interesting state to explore. <BR/><BR/>Wish that I could take more time right now to do some exploring, but must get ready to go see my eye doc for a regular glaucoma check.
