Who was unfortunately diagnosed with Schizophrenia and passed away sadly when I was just a little girl of five, bringing deep grief to my Mother, Mavis Ellen Carss my older sister Beverley, and myself.
Losing my father at such an early stage, has shaped my life rather significantly, as I loved my father dearly and have never totally gotten over his losing him, his absence has always been acutely felt in my life.
I was bought up to attend Sunday School at St. Johns, Church of England, in Melbourne. My Mother on marriage had converted to Protestantism and so her spiritual journey began. My childhood was not supremely happy due to the loss of her Husband. My Mother was grieving deeply, but mum was always there for us and courageously bought us up alone. I attended school at Tooronga Road State School, where I learnt to love Poetry, then Malvern Girls High; I left in year 10 as I found a job at Australian Musical Industries.
I married at the age of eighteen, and had my first daughter, I married again unsuccessfully, but through my marriages I had another two daughters all of whom were beautiful babies, a total of three daughters, that I love very much, now I cheerfully add one granddaughter and four grandsons, who are very much loved and I am very proud of them all, indeed!
I have been employed as a carer since 1993; to the care of my middle daughter, unfortunately, she was also diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Terasa is also the mother of my 3rd grandson Daniel, my daughter has come a long way, and is very well these days which is a long awaited answer, to prayer, with continued reliance on God’s Grace.
This is snip it of where I bring my Poetry from, becoming a Born again Christian in 1983 with Grateful Thanks to God working through The Mackay Baptist Church for their loving and timely help; At the time I was young mother of three children alone, going through Great Personal Turmoil, and on the Edge, The Baptist People pulled me to Safety.
This is a small excerpt of my journey, of which you are most welcome, to accompany me.view less
