Abstract

In a personal narrative of maternal love and loss, trauma and strength, the author in her sixties makes an inward journey to touch the untold depths of love and pain that run through her as a constant stream. … I permit myself now to live in the house of the mothers and I call it mine. I think increasingly about all of our lives, about their deaths, about time passing and my own death ahead of me … I find myself both war correspondent and war casualty, and surely war criminal also … I do not fear death. It is legacy from my mothers, that death in itself brings only release. It is living that hurts … With insight comes compassion and reconciliation for the author, the women and the wounds. The loving strength of mothers and daughters overcomes the pain they inflict on one another. Scars remain but they are intelligent and wise. Is healing rooted within this understanding?
个人经验
在这段关于母爱与失去、创伤与力量的个人叙事中,六十多岁的作者进行了一次内心之旅,触及了贯穿她全身的无尽的爱与痛苦。我现在允许自己住在母亲们的房子里,我称它为我的房子。我越来越多地思考我们所有人的生活,思考他们的死亡,思考时间的流逝和我自己的死亡……我发现自己既是战地记者,又是战争受害者,当然也是战争罪犯……我不害怕死亡。这是我母亲留给我的遗产,死亡本身只会带来解脱。随着洞察力的深入,作者、女性和伤口都会产生同情和和解。母亲和女儿的爱的力量克服了她们给彼此造成的痛苦。伤疤还在,但它们是聪明而明智的。疗愈是否根植于这种理解之中?
