This episode of This American Life features writer Etgar Keret telling stories about his mother, who was in the Holocaust, in the Warsaw Ghetto, &... had a most unusual way of weaving trauma into the stories she crafted into bedtime tales for her son.
It's both a heavy episode & testament to how we carry heavy lives forward lovingly through narrative. Choose your time for it wisely, but it is worth the reflection it offers, on how we move forward in our haunted truths.
