This is a “re-podcast” of the original interview which took place in 2007. Camille dialogues with Glenys Carl, author of “Hold My Hand: A Mother’s Journey.”
Book Synopsis
Glenys Carl’s life changed for ever with one phone call saying that her son Scott, who was halfway round the world in Australia, had suffered a traumatic head injury and was not expected to live. It was the start of a remarkable journey for Glenys – and for Scott, who survived with his personality intact but could only move one arm. In this inspirational book Glenys describes her fight to rehabilitate Scott after the doctors advised that no more could be done to help his mobility and he should be put in a home. Glenys was determined she would look after Scott herself and teach him to walk again. Alone in Sydney, she put leaflets out asking for help. Complete strangers turned up at her door, a flood of volunteers, all giving their time to Scott, inspired by his unquenchable spirit. When they moved to London the same thing happened as volunteers helped with Scott’s therapy until he was able to take his first difficult steps. Along the way Glenys learned to trust her instincts as a mother, to treasure each moment with her son and to accept her situation without bitterness, even when tragedy struck again. Scott’s courage and his mother’s determination to give him the best possible life imbue with book with a powerful message of hope.

Benig Mauger, author of “Love in the Time of Broken Heart” discusses her book with Camille. Benig traveled from her home in Dublin Ireland to speak at a conference on Spirituality, where she explores the human experience through her lens as a Jungian Psychologist and through her own personal experiences of love and loss.
Benig’s ability to work with archetypes and metaphors provides a rich landscape and language for us as she encourages us to work with our own broken hearts, making sense of suffering and loss and what is gained from being at the “still point.”
Camille and film partner Grant Taylor also interviewed Benig for an upcoming documentary film. Stay tuned!
