Wounds Into Wisdom�‪�‬ Charmian Blackwood

Recorded live at Perry Barr Crematorium Birmingham on the 5 January 2021. My beautiful Mom's Eulogy. Rest in Love, Joy, Happiness and Everlasting Peace. Mom let's do this together. I got you and you've got me ALWAYS 🙏🏽💙🦋 9 August 1946 - 1 December 2020.

This piece depicts the thoughts of self that I held and owned for the most part of my life, until I decided I no longer wanted to think and feel this of self. Lets do this together. I got you🦋 My final episode of Season 1. I can't articulate how much this whole process has allowed me to identify and realise MY power. I feel like the real me has finally been released. There is not an ounce of shame or blame that I hold and am in the strongest position I've held to date. God Willing Season 2 will begin in 2021 so I want say thank you for joining me and thank those that have reached out with love, support and encouragement. I've been told my words have brought some of you comfort others say it has made them feel empowered. But the over-riding emotion my words have created is LOVE and that to me is what it's all about.

A piece that addresses the choices and decisions I have made but with acknowledgement that a number of my choices were trauma led. Lets do this together. I got you🦋

A short piece, acknowledgement that I was a child and my abusers were adults. How seeing from the perspective of a parent now allows me to fully comprehend that as a young child there is NEVER any justification for an adult to initiate intimacy of a sexual nature. Let's do this together. I got you🦋

A glimpse into the work I had to put in to reach the level of healing I am currently achieving. Lets do this together. I got you🦋

I am paying homage to who and where I am right in this very moment. Lets do this together. I got you🦋
