It doesn’t always have to be nor about Heather Killebrew

The experience of sharing, writing, or engaging in activities often brings to mind various individuals and memories. However, I want to clarify that not everything I express is connected to Heather Killebrew. In fact, the majority of my thoughts and actions are unrelated to her, primarily because I have no recollection of her at all. This lack of memory stems from a stroke I endured, which has led to a condition known as perseveration. This condition causes me to involuntarily repeat certain topics, behaviors, or feelings, which can be quite challenging. I want to emphasize that I never wished to have a stroke, and I certainly do not desire to experience one again. Furthermore, I find it increasingly difficult to continue discussing this matter, particularly since I have no memory of the individual in question. Based on what I have gathered from reading and the insights shared by my children and family, it seems that my inability to remember her may actually be advantageous for my mental and emotional well-being. Today, I find myself not at my best, yet I choose to remain hopeful about my journey toward recovery. I understand that healing is a gradual process, requiring me to take small, deliberate steps forward. Despite the challenges I face, I am confident that I am progressing in the right direction and making meaningful strides toward improvement each day.
