How I Finally Faced My Biggest Wall of Awful

For years I put off dealing with my late Mom’s car. A lot made it difficult. Grief. Paperwork. Money. Recalls. Brick by brick, a wall of awful built between me and this car. It was emotional to do, but I finally decided to face my wall of awful. And I learned some things along the way… and was reminded of things I’d forgotten.

Thank you for your vulnerability ❤️ You're someone who i look up to and feel amazed by all you've accomplished ! This video and the series with Cass and the house sorting were really inspiring. They show that even people i assume have their lives under control can still struggle over some aspects, and we can all feel overwhelmed in front of some tasks. The fact that in both cases you recognized your struggle and acted by asking for help also incentivize reaching out for the support we need. Hope you will soon feel good driving it. Maybe it could become a symbol of your capability to climb even the biggest of walls !
