I Held My Mother's Pain: A Journey of Healing, Remembering, and Honoring The Inner Child

Poet Taylor Kinney shares her journey through healing her maternal lineage through the lens of the inner child archetype. Navigating early childhood and adolescent trauma, she journeys through her school age years attempting to unpack her mother's expression of pain and the messages of feminine conditioning. Taylor accepts the invitation into the unknown. She steps into the journey of re-parenting and self-love, reclaiming fragmented parts of herself, and ultimately reconnecting with the great mother. I Held My Mother's Pain is a heart-wrenching poetry collection exploring the lasting effects of generational trauma and the long, emotional journey to recovery and self-love. The pain in these poems has been hidden and held tightly for generations in Taylor's maternal lineage. The women who came before her had their own stories that were left untold as they held and passed on the wounds from their mothers of generations' prior. Taylor's writing is vulnerable, raw, and will touch your heart in the most sensitive and delicate ways. She offers the message that in times of pain and uncertainty, there remains a light inside, always guiding the way. This is an invitation to sprint as fast as you can towards the little being inside of you and squeeze them with an abundance of love, expression, and belonging.
