The Emotional Legacy Of Grandparents – The Wisest Women
My grandmothers are the wisest women. Their legacy will go from generation to generation with the knowledge they have shared, the bond of love they have created and the smiles that say it all in the world without a word.
The wisest women not only experience thousands of lives during each of their years; they also know more about overcoming difficulties than any self-help book. For it is the wisdom of fashion and unconditional love that does not demand things, but instead enriches and protects.
The legacy of our previous generations, of our grandparents, is the testimony of women who have left their legacy of blood and affection. Sometimes contradictory, but always intense and determined.
Today, let’s talk about a bond woven between three generations – grandmothers, mothers and daughters – and especially about the first role, which often has great emotional weight.
The invisible bond with the wisest women
It is often said that grandmothers and grandmothers are the most skilled craftsmen when it comes to knowledge that is passed on without words.
We often find them in the middle of highly valued rituals, arranging things, caring for clothes and preparing delicious meals or braiding their gray hair every morning, and then putting it in a knot with subtle precision.
In their every movement we see not only years of practice, but also the silence of a whole life’s emotions locked in every gesture and every little movement.
For in reality we do not really know all the secrets they experienced during their youth, the sorrows they wept over or the disappointments they swallowed like cold river stones. Because it does not matter anymore, because time has passed and their wounds have healed.
Raising the smartest women
Experts tend to say that raising children is not the same as raising grandchildren. They say that grandmothers take on a more relaxed and significant role.
Grandmothers and grandmothers do not have the pressure to guide everything in the child’s life. Grandchildren are the gift of their blood and a renewed homage to their lives. And the grandchildren they will love unconditionally, but leave the role of guide and boundary maker to the parents.
Grandmothers and grandmothers radiate the same steadfastness to their grandchildren as a tree that offers roots, and the balance from an affection that does not know what storms are or that distinguishes between school days and holidays.
There is always something sweet in their oven. There is always a chair available in front of a window, from where they look at the sky and tell stories from the past that they always remember with joy.
The intergenerational inheritance from grandparents, from these brave women with their sincere care, often speaks of resilience. When we look into their faces, we immediately get the feeling that they can overcome things we can only fantasize about. That they have confronted battles where their gender was not respected. That they learned to raise their voices when they were required to be quiet and that they might give up many of their dreams.
Dreams that one day are projected on us – their grandchildren. Excited hopes of nurturing their hearts. But no love is as sincere as the love of these older women. From the wisest of women…
