Thank you for sharing your story and the inner struggle associated with leaving behind what I imagine took years of work to get to not to mention the related professional identity.

I love the poem, it feels like a gift rich with transformational vision and power, and how wonderful that you felt the blessing and healing from your grandparents as they sent love to you on a journey they wouldn’t have understood in life. Wishing you good things as you move on in your life, as I wish to us all.

Contemplating your questions.🪶

Thank you. I'm glad the poem landed for you. You are right there are a lot of layers of identity tied up in this both because of the status and power of the physician role, but also as a provider in my family. Looking forward to any stories you have to share.
