The moment I saw that round window in the thumbnail, I knew I had to watch this. I love this woman; I love the way she talks about things, how she tells her stories; I love the message. I cried as I watched because I am just so grateful that I get to hear her speak yet again. There's a line from *The Sheltering Sky* that goes as follows, "How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless." Well, I feel the poignancy of these words as I listen to Jenny. Thank you Jenny, thank you Green Renaissance, for the gift of our your words, a window into your soul, the sharing of life's lessons hard won.

[@agingflowerchild]

That was postpartum depression, when hormones go on too long and too strong. Nobody's fault. People didn't know any better until very recently. Happened to me too, awful. It's fixable, sort of. Understanding makes it better -- it becomes a thing that's happening to you, a problem to support with help -- and NOT a character flaw. Wish we'd all known sooner.

[@gretchenhowspiritworks]

Mom died 29 years ago this month. My experience is similar to your daughter- Since then, I've worked diligently on forgiveness, and I know she never meant to harm me, she was not conscious of the emotional life sentence she was passing into me which I've had to navigate. Your courage is a gift. thank you Jenny from all the daughters.

Hello again Jenny. I was born to a woman who was raped by a priest when she was a little girl,and my father was orphaned when he was 2 and suffered depression from WW2. I have been depressed for 75 years, and until this video, it has never occurred to me to blame them for decades of depression. I am an empathic and loving person, intelligent, and love the insights which well up in solitude. So I cannot resonate with such terms as “life sentence. I am an accomplished writer who uses her love of solitude and her intelligence to good use. My depression is indigenous to me, a part of me, and I don’t see that it has damaged my life, because solitude, writing, and compassion toward all are truly my gifts to the world.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for sharing your story Bonnie. A lot to ponder on. All the best for life's journey further. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@jmk1962]

None of what happened was your fault. Your mother suffered the trauma of what happened to her by a man who she should have been able to trust. It can't have been easy for her and that fear/shame/anguish would have passed through to you as a developing fetus. Look on the positives, she didn't get rid of you, she carried you for 9 months and gave birth and gave you life, that is love, even if she wasn't able to show it because of her own trauma. I'm adopted so I get it. I understand that times were very different back in the early 60's in Ireland and it was so shameful if you got pregnant and weren't married. Women had no choice but to give their babies up or risk a life of shame. I never felt any anger towards my birth mother. I was lucky. I was adopted aged 3 weeks and had wonderful parents and a great childhood, but despite that there is always a lingering feeling of not being quite good enough, especially as now, at the age of 61, I have connected with my birthmother who is delighted I am alive and well but is still not willing to tell my 6 half siblings that I exist for fear they will judge her. That is hard and makes me feel like something she is ashamed of.

[@natural3362]

Actually it's her fault that she gave birth to you and abandoned you. Women should be able to give birth and give love at the same time. It's irresponsible of her to give birth to you and leave you alone. But i understand. It's not her fault. She is ashamed of being pregnant young.

[@kchaddah2595]

What a remarkable attitude you have towards your experience. I applaud you. You are teaching me something powerful. Self-love of the deepest kind and acceptance of all of our emotions rather than denigrating them, however painful.

This hit close to home! Told I was the whoops baby, I made her sick for the whole 9mths. The last 3 yrs trying to figure my life out. Generational trauma, emotional immaturity, toxic behavior patterns. Early childhood development and how it effects us. Mom is 94 and still won't discuss anything, won't believe when I say anything. You can't help people who won't help themselves, so for now I help myself, do my own healing, the other siblings won't see the reality and thats their path.

[@KJ-lb4tj]

'you can't help people who won't help themselves'. Is your mother looking for help? It seems like your mother did what she did probably in the best way she could with what she had and made many mistakes as you will too with your children. Your only option IS to heal yourself. Now that you are an adult, you are responsible for yourself. Your mum is responsible for herself. If she does or doesn't want to talk about your childhood, that's her choice. Once you realise what you are in control of and what is your responsibility and what is others responsibility then you will be so much more grounded in your own identity.

[@belindachambers7585]

This sounds so exactly like my experience- so many others we may never know. Apparently I cried for most of my first 6 months and photos of me as a young child always seem so solemn and sad and otherworldly- though I was quite beautiful then. My mother lost her father to suicide at a very young age and hid under her bed for weeks , never fully recovering from the loss of her beloved father. Her first marriage to my father was prompted by a teenage pregnancy with me. She had so much promise as a brilliant scholar but was removed from UK to escape to the sunshine of Africa and a new life after the war her mother took the three girls to a new life for which my mother never forgave my grandmother- who I adored. My mother and father were in love but incompatible and not ready for marriage- no wonder the turmoil and heartache ensued. But that it should last a lifetime is a choice. We can all make a choice. My mother died sad and bitter never forgave my father, her mother and me. Until I was almost 60 I tried to compensate and make it better. Then I woke up to the damage and impact on myself and realised I had wasted my own life feeling unworthy, unlovable and ashamed for nothing. It wasn't about me. I sadly stood up to my poor broken mum for my own survival and distanced myself. She bolted the doors and threw away the keys and I did too. It was awful. It was sad. It wasn't the way I hoped it would end but that is how it was. I accepted it. I always loved my mother and always will but in the end I protected myself and showed compassion to me too. 🌻🦋🐕🌈♥️

Wow. Thank you dear Jenny for truly opening your heart. You truly just helped me connect another "dot" in my own life. I had a VERY turbulent childhood & teenage upbringing. My wonderful mom made life choices that weren't always in her or my best interest. Subsequently she in my mid-teens became an alcoholic (people didn't go to therapy in her day so you self medicated........sigh) and I in more ways than one became her care giver emotionally & physically. After she died I had SUCH guilt because I finally saw her as a PERSON & not my MOM and realized how much hurt & trauma she was dealing with. While I loved her dearly I was very angry and resentful that she had created so much "drama" in my life while alive and well I wasn't always "nice" to her. Took a lot of therapy for me to let go of my guilt & shame towards my behavior towards her after she passed. However you just said something that explains some of my "own" issues that even in therapy didn't really ever come up and that was how your unhappiness while you were pregnant was "taken" on by your daughter. Like yourself I'm pretty aware and um yeah lots of therapy and yet this has NEVER been brought up. Explains so much and truly I feel like something just clicked and let go. I am so GRATEFUL that you are sharing such private intimate details of your life. I think as children no matter how old we are, we forget our parents are people too and at the end of the day they truly are just doing the best they can in the moment & if they could do better they would. Not excusing or justifying bad behavior, but sharing something I've learned in my own journey towards healing my relationship w/my mom ( even though she has passed) and myself.

I can hardly see to write this for the tears erupting from me. I’m choked from the pain of what you describe. My mother was dying of cancer, my father had abandoned her and my little brother and sister, my husband was cruel and uncaring and wouldn’t help, when my second son was born. I was numb with it, my first son was not even two yet. I had to wash two babies worth of clothing and diapers by hand in the bathtub. I was so alone, so unaware of myself, of parenthood, I would stand and look at him in his crib and feel nothing. He became the sweetest most loving of my children but he also suffered deep pain. I left my husband when he was ten, he craved a man’s love and approval, he didn’t get that. In his teens he withdrew, started using drugs. He took his life six years ago in May. I am so full of grief and guilt, it has tormented me. I too didn’t know about Post Partum. As May approaches the anxiety, heartache, guilt intensify. Thank you for sharing your experience beautiful lady. I grieve with you but also am happy your daughter is here to hear your experience with her.

What a beautiful, precious lady. My mom suffered from PPD.. as a child not understanding.. I always felt unloved by her.. I bore the brunt of many of her outbursts as the oldest daughter of six... It took years to recover and as a mother myself.. I begin to understand the dynamics of parenting while dealing w various emotional issues with no support. I feel nothing but love, empathy, gratitude, compassion for my mom because I realized she persevered in spite of everything and raised us.. the best she could with what she knew and with virtually little to no resources or friends to help her navigate. I love my mom deeply and I am mourning as I care for her in her final stages of Alzheimer's and dementia.. I'm mourning the loss of conversations we never had, of lost time, of her nor being able to experience what a beautiful granddaughter she is blessed with.. but.. to have the understanding.. yes.. it is freeing isn't it...

Yes Jenny, you are beautiful!! Thank you Reflections of Life for bringing us these wonderful productions and adding so much to my personal life.❤❤❤

Jenny faces life, head-on. She didn't let the guilt fuel drive her away without standing up and facing her truth. It's so gracious and courageous of her to talk and share her emotions. From her deep love alone, she manages to share her truth with her daughter. Cheers to her creed. 🎉

Aww, I am so grateful for this piece. We women take on so much of other’s pain and responsibility, and sharing stories like this helps me to feel more connected and less alone, less broken. I had a happy and very hopeful pregnancy, terrible nausea, a wickedly long labour, and a colicky baby for the first 5 months. I too felt guilty and like it was my fault. But now, I’m not sure it’s that simple. That doctor who said you were just not ready to be a mother, may have been right, I mean what mother truly is ready that first time, but I wouldn’t jump to conclude that this is the reason for not having an easy postpartum. Things are maybe not that simple, and not all about us.❤

My heart became eager when I saw Jenny talking again. Hundreds of thousands of women, I'm sure, can relate to many aspects of this story. I have come to understand the concept of "generational trauma," something which applies in my own story----it is a factor in the segment where she talks about passing on the pain, the unhappiness. I tried to counter things by educating myself ahead of time, and hopefully what I DID do better, or closer to the ideal, had some positive, mitigating effect. I remember after my daughter took sobriety seriously and had been working for awhile with a sponsor. She phoned to talk.."Mom, I realize I've never been happy. I've been unhappy all my life." And I was able to say to her, "Of course, you're unhappy. You were born into unhappiness. I was unhappy while pregnant and nursing you...., " etc. IT was a freeing, turning moment in our "difficult" relationship, my being able to validate her experience. I also told her, "You don't need to let what your parents did give you an unhappy life. You can choose to do the work of self-healing and becoming happy. You don't have to be controlled by what your parents did or did not do." Of course, though, she is. I watch her dance out the same marital unhappiness I was living.... So, I don't know. Gabor Mate has done a lot of work around this issue of passing along generational pain and trauma. It is not a blame thing. It seems to me to be the human condition, and our work is to become as self-aware as possible to heal the wounds and share what we learn But life is short. We tend to become parents (I include the men in this---they are an important part of it all) long before we even become aware that we aren't aware. LOL! Anyway, maybe these comments will be shared with Jenny, so that she can see the good she is doing for us. Thank you again, GR, for a film filled with heart, truth, and nascent cultural wisdom. Grandma Ellen, signing out.💜💜💜💜💜

She taught you introspection, forgiveness and unconditional love. What a gift your daughter is! Our lessons here in this earth school can be so difficult, but when when we see where we made a mistake or went wrong and then choose to rectify to the best of our abilities where we went wrong and then live our lives committed to go forth and never make those mistakes again, well that is mastery. That is us remembering who we are. That is powerful. God bless you always. Thank you for talking to us and thank you, GR, for bringing Jenny back to us 🙏🏼✨💜

I absolutely love this woman and her wisdom and her open heart and her honesty!!!! I totally understand about her postpartum depression and how impossibly difficult it is to be a mom even when you don't have postpartum depression. A mother must be 100% there for the child for 18 years. No one else has that kind of responsibility. I never had a child but it must be so, so difficult. What's happening is that all of us are learning from and falling in love with this beautifu woman!!!l

Powerful motherly truth, as I listen to this mother/women stating her truth all I can think of is how I felt when I was pregnant w/my first child at a young age.

I was unable to bond with my son until he was five . My mother was mentally ill and brutally abusive . This caused me to put up a wall between my son and I. I felt that I was damaged and wanted to withdraw so that I didn't damage him . Something clicked around five when I was able to share humor with him . He's 17 now and he sees me as his rock . I've shared my history with him and have thanked him for teaching me to be a mother .

God Bless you again and again for opening up your soul. I'm nearly 70 and walked in shoes similar to yours, but I didn't have a husband. A week before 43 I gave birth to my son and from the beginning the isolation, the fear, was overwhelming. I know the pain of shame, the 'why did I' questions, I still carry them today despite asking for my son's forgiveness, trying to not do what my Mom did as I was growing up that was hurtful to me. Now in today I just try to be kind and supportive to my 27 year old son who has Aspergers. He is living in supportive housing finding his way in life which is painful to watch, he knows how I feel, I no longer say the words. Right now he wants to drive and is slowly making his way. He works two days a week as a dishwasher and likes the people he works with...other than that, he has no friends. I worry a lot for his future because when I'm gone, he will have no one.

It is and was not your fault. None of it! I believe regret and guilt have no place in your life. Its wasted energy. We were expected to know, as you said. That was so far from the truth. I believe we are all responsible for our own happiness. No mother ,father, husband, sister ,brother, or anyone that's important in our lives is. No matter what the circumstances. If a person needs help with it, seek it out. I am happy your daughter is loving and why should she not be? It is the way to personal happiness. Its great she has figured that out. Nothing that happened while she was growing up should get in the way of that. It is an overused term ,but true, we all did the best we could, and I believe we should never feel guilty ,ever ,for mistakes, or circumstances that were beyond our control .They should be learned from. Moved on from ,to that loving place we all need. Thank you for sharing.

Very brave woman. My son was born almost 3 months early and spent 3,5 months at the hospital, hooked to machines. He weighed 900 grams. I would visit him every day, after a while I got to hold him on my chest. But I felt like an robot. I just couldn't bond with him... he was ripped from my insides after a very hard pregnancy and the whole thing was very traumatic. When he came home, I fell apart. Luckily my husband was there and got me help. My son is now 8 months old and I finally feel like he's mine. Our love grows every day ❤

Those nightmarish lives we lead as humanity will finally get us on the path to light, to what we call "non-duality" THANK YOU so much for sharing your secret - Which we, at least women, share...

Dear Jenny, Thank you so much for your honesty and for your caring. I’m sure now, since you have talked with her about PTSD, that she has forgiven you! I was affected too, and I don’t blame my mother (and father) who did the very best she could. I see now, that she also was very likely traumatised as a baby, when her own mother (and father) were new immigrants, struggling in a difficult environment, to make a better life for their family. Both my mother and my father were incapable of expressive emotional attachment, although they always tried to be there for us. That helped a little, although emotionally, I still felt rejected all my life and in my relationships. Now, I have learned about childhood trauma and Compassionate Inquiry from Dr Gabor Maté. This has transformed my life. ❤

Life affirming and wondrous. Sad that most people really don't appreciate this part of life. I am a male and often feel ashamed that women have to put up with far too much and that men are unaware.

We are glad you liked the message Jenny shared, Terry. Thank you for your touching words. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

And every child after that one increases the degree of post-partum 😥 I am so sorry you were not able to get the help you needed back then Jenny. My mother and I did not have a very good relationship for many reasons, partly my time in the womb and the circumstances around her pregnancy with me. You were not to blame for everything Jenny *SUPER BIG HUGS* for you and your daughter in your journey from here on in.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for these touching words. Sending you warm hugs, and all the best for your own journey, Justine and Michael. 💚

@@ReflectionsofLife I have watch, re-watched sometimes, laughed and cried through every one of those talks with this amazing woman 💖

[@GloriaLedesma-hc5ex]

You were not alone. I too had post partum when my daughter was born. My relationship with my daughter's dad was not good. He was going this own demons and that depressed me. I felt I did have the emotional support I needed from him. My daughter as a baby cried a lot. I do believe they feel your emotional state in the womb. It was exhausting not having the help or emotional support being a first time mother. It angered me. I felt the guilt for many years. My daughter is now a grown woman and very loving towards me. I did tell her once she was older how I felt when she was born and as a baby. I'm not sure she quite understood, seeing she never became a mother due to cancer.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for sharing a bit about your own struggles, we hear you. We are so happy to read that you have a loving relationship with your daughter and that you were able to share with her how you felt/what happened at the time. Wishing you both well. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@HVM555]

My dear lady. You are brave, strong and admired in telling your story. Hard as it was to discuss it, you did and it must bring relief to you and your daughter. At a young age of 26 I had PPD with my second son. I remember sitting with him in my arms on the rocking chair. I spoke gently to him saying, I was not my best, but I will never physically harm you. I did receive treatment and had it explained to me my hormones were causing the changes in my body. He is currently a brilliant father of two beautiful children of his own. I thank you for your story and love to you. xx ❤️

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Glad we could share this video with you, what you are sharing goes deep. We are glad you were able to manage the situation. Lovely words about your son, glad that all is well. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@renewalkin6151]

This was my story too. I was fortunate to live next to woman who was a nurse who told my husband to take me to my doctor(gynaecologist) and not to take no for an answer. The minute I was in his office I burst into tears as I was not coping. I couldn't believe that my friends who had already had children had not told me what it was really like! I felt so betrayed and isolated. I thought I was the only one who was not a natural mother. I had also had an emergency Caesarean as the umbilical cord was too short and she would likely have had some brain damage due to oxygen starvation if it was a long birth process.That didn't help either. I was all over the place emotionally and really struggling. My husband was very understanding and did the night feeding for a few days so I could sleep through the night which helped enormously as sleep deprivation only makes the problem worse. What a brave lady she is to be so open about a subject that is still painful all these years later.I love this channel.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for sharing your experiences, Rene. We are glad you could be helped at the time. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

This touches me deeply. I was very stressed when pregnant. My mother had just died and my father was vile to me asI was not married to my partner. I had a caesarian and felt a failure at childbirth. My partner changed overnight from being loving and supporting to behaving like a sulky teenager. My baby cried just all the time and I had nobody to even hold him. I did bond with him, but he was an anxious child with eating difficulties. I felt such a failure for so long. Thanks for letting me express this. Never really spoken about it.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

It makes us sad to read your message and are so glad you felt the freedom to express and share your experiences here. It would be wonderful if Jenny's words can help you to understand things better and heal. Wishing you all the best on your way forward through life.

I've watched Jenny's videos so many times. It gives me strength and hope to go on despite my lack of closeness with my own mother. I've finally forgave her and moved on with my life. It took me several years of therapy and it's still going on...Thank you Jenny!

So glad the videos with Jenny do so much good for you. Wishing you all the best and healing on your journey through life. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

Chatting-talking-communicating... years and years of tensing up, actually what happens is something else... the experience of mine, the reality is a shock as it is joyous... the frequency of emotions... releasing the guilt of actions... love and caring & care and loving... TU!

[@mariavalenzz5833]

Jenny, your story is mine. I had my first daughter in 1973, and I experienced what you experienced after her birth. I didn't know about PPD in those days. Only recently have I found an explanation of what happened. PPD. My daughter and I have been healing our relationship for years and years. She has been so generous with me when she could have erased me from her life but she didn't because she cared. That is THE POWER OF LOVE, and I'm grateful to her in particular. I'm also so thankful to you for sharing your painful memories. It's hard. I love you for that.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

A deeply moving message - thank you for sharing. Your journey echoes that of Jenny's. And how beautiful that you and your daughter are walking a path towards healing and peace. We send you much love and kindness. Justine and Michael. 💚

For anyone with a baby who cries all the time: A chiropractor once told me that colicky babies can sometimes be “cured” with a spinal adjustment done by a professional. Their little spines can go out of alignment during birth, particularly if there has been tugging or pulling. An adjustment can relieve their pain. It may be something to look into.

[@em945]

Sounds like a really good idea if you can get a really experienced one ( I am a big believer in Chiropractics , and osteo ). Even any type of kind healing touch could help a crying baby. There are so many things that seem to be able to go wrong! Glad I didn't have kids, I would have been forever nervous parent.

[@ceilidhferguson1890]

My mother had a terrible, impoverished and abusive childhood that ill prepared her to be a parent but still she got pregnant as a young single woman and had a daughter. That child died at age 15 from a brain tumor. Nine months after the death of her beloved daughter, my mother became pregnant with me. She could never love me, never protected me and also passed on to me the generational trauma she experienced. It has taken a long time to understand the consequences of this in my own life. It is important for us to hear stories like this because too often, we think people should be able to heal from severe childhood trauma. We have only recently discovered that the hormones produced by fear, anger, guilt, sadness and depression physically change a developing brain and can forever alter the way that child will experience the world. As Jenny notes in a different interview, there are some injuries that cannot be healed. We would never tell a child born without a limb that they should be able heal themselves. We can accommodate our injuries and even, as Jenny has done, create beautiful meaningful lives but the injury remains. And yet, life is still beautiful.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

So much you shared with us. Lots of food for thought... Thank you for your openness. We are so thankful you were able work through your trauma, to understand it better and we hope you are doing ok. And that you are enjoying life. Wishing you all the best for every new day. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚

[@sundari555-f2g]

It’s a scientific fact that giving birth “doesn’t” automatically give you maternal feelings. Some women are empty shells devoid of motherly love. This impacts children forever. Unfortunately some children can never forgive a lifetime of never having a loving mother as well as one who could never say she was sorry . 🧿

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for sharing these thoughts, much to ponder on. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@annecrestani9218]

Thank you again Jenny. Not only are you a wonderful artist but also an incredibly authentic, generous and honest human being. Life can be so very challenging can't it? As mothers, there is just an incredible amount of pressure to be the "perfect mother". Always, smiling, always available, always caring, always patient, always attractive....always on call. In some ways, we are asked to stop being human! To stop being fallible, fragile, sensitive, unsure, uncertain, exhausted, frustrated, anxious, hurting. I adored being pregnant and I adored my babies but I struggled to fully enjoy them as their father was so hateful, violent and abusive. He was jealous of my connection with them and did everything he could to sever our bond, even after we had divorced and I had managed to escape from him. His painful legacy continues to this day and I have to work very hard to try and undo the damage that he wreaked. Thankfully myself and my now adult children continue to work on being more open, honest, loving and compassionate with each other. We're not perfect by any means, but we never give up on each other. Jenny, your words and your compassion are what the world so needs now. Thank you, thank you.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Touching words. Sorry to read about your experiences, but so good that you and your children work together and try to be open, caring, loving,... Wishing you and your children all the best for life's journey. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
