Rachel Skidmore is a mother of two teen-aged daughters who teach her everyday things that she did not know (now more than ever). The topic of self care and taking respite moments has always been important to her, because she is a single mother and knew that it was in taking these moments that she would be able to give her daughters the best version of herself. Rachel’s youngest daughter requires a lot of personal care and hands-on involvement due to physical and cognitive diversities in addition to a diagnosis of staticus epilepticus, so the idea of “respite” has always meant something outside of the box for her. She never felt she could take extended breaks without making more work for herself, and due to her daughter’s complexities, it has been hard to let go for fear that her daughter’s seizures would be missed by even close family members, so she has found over the past 13 years other ways in which she has found her form of “respite” and what allows her to recharge and keep up the energy to…keep up.
