Betsy Graziani Fasbinder on Lessons Learned With an Inherited Family and Authoring Filling Her Shoes
Show Notes

When Betsy Graziani Fasbinder married more than 30 years ago, she committed to more than a husband. She inherited a son, whose mother had died far too young.

Unlike blended families of divorce, Betsy had to navigate her new family's grief and her own desire to be included as a mother. Journaling and writing helped.  Today, that writing is
Filling Her Shoes:  A Memoir of an Inherited Family.

You will learn:

  • Love and loss, grief and gratitude can coexist.
  • Journaling can help not simply to remember events but to facilitate better perspective and responses in the moment.
  • Step-parenting might be better termed step-in parenting, designed to augment rather than replace the first parent.
