Is my child's diagnosis a "karmic wake up call" from the universe?

Has this thought ever crossed your mind as a parent with a life limiting illness or condition? You are not alone. I recently had a listener reach out to me and suggested this as an episode topic (thanks Sara!). She said she has struggled with the thought that somehow her son's terminal diagnosis was her "karmic wake up call" to be a better person and couldn't shake the feeling that maybe some poor choices she made in her 20's led her to this. Am I a believer in karma? Absolutely. HOWEVER, I definitely do NOT think that our children's diagnosis' are just bad karma coming for us. I cannot lie though; the thought did cross my mind at the beginning of our journey. This episode I dive deep into this idea and all my thoughts surrounding it. Enjoy!
