Every Family Has A Story: How we inherit love and loss

Product Information

Our children are an integral component of our stories as we are of theirs and, therefore, each child acts as the knighted messengers to carry their forebears’ stories into the future. To deprive our children of the narrative cells regarding the formation of the ozone layer that rims the atmosphere of our ancestors’ saga and parental determination of selfhood is to deny them of the sacred right to claim the sanctity of their heritage. Accordingly, all wrinkled brow natives are chargeable with the sacrosanct obligation of telling their kith and kin the memorable story of the scenic days they spent as children of nature splashing about in their naked innocence in the brook of infinite time and space. We must scrupulous document our family’s history as well as scrawl out our personal story.” (Kilroy J. Oldster) I also found it awkward when she told clients 'what a wonderful son' he was.

But we think too narrowly about the impact of our families on our lives. As someone who has gone through significant turmoil in my family life with my parents, I found this a really insightful book and has persuaded me that it may be beneficial to consider some psychotherapy, and potentially even family therapy - although perhaps it is too late for that (apparently it's never too late).

We may think we understand people. Where they are coming from. Why they act the way they act. …But what if we’re wrong?

Kate: It sounds like there is a tremendous amount of possibility in learning to rewrite these stories. Through eight beautifully told case studies, covering a variety of families across multiple generations, she analyses common issues from losing a parent to children leaving home, and from separation to step-relationships. In doing so she shows how much is, in fact, inherited -- and how much can be healed when it is faced together. In Every Family Has a Story , bestselling psychotherapist Julia Samuel turns from her acclaimed work with individuals to draw on her sessions with a wide variety of families, across multiple generations. Through eight beautifully told and insightful case studies, she analyses a range of common issues, from loss to leaving home, and from separation to step-relationships, and shows how much is, in fact, inherited -- and how much can be healed when it is faced together. Does thinking about honesty and truth as a light in our own lives, change how we understand that Jesus is the light of the world ( John 8:12)? How does your knowing of Christ shed light in your world?She also makes some problematic assumptions - for instance that children leave home and transition to adulthood when mothers are going through similar stages of life (i.e. menopause). She speaks of a grandparent as follows: 'she worked as a carer, lived on a council estate BUT had huge glamour, the way she dressed.' The but reflects a classed attitude that seems to imply living on a council estate or being a carer precludes glamour.
