Summary

Today, I talked with my dear friend, Holly Packiam. Holly serves as the Pastor of Parenting Ministries at New Life Downtown, and brings her experience as a mother and her training as a counselor to the subject of loss. She shared how this season of being in isolation reminds her of when her kids were 7 and under and it felt impossible to go anywhere, get anything done, or see anyone outside of her family.

0:00.0	Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest
0:13.0	privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every
0:18.6	week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement and I am just so glad
0:24.6	that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me.
0:37.6	Hi friends, it's Sally Clarkson and I'm back. Holly and I had so much fun recording the
0:45.1	other day. I hope you enjoyed it. We could have gone on for hours and hours about some of
0:48.3	the things we've learned. Holly Pachyam and I'm Sally Clarkson. I realize that every day

1:57.3	and the things that we go through. I wanted Holly with me today to share some of her ideas
2:05.0	about what it feels like when you feel like you're at a loss and how are we all doing and how do
2:11.0	we cope? I just don't think it's healthy for us to be sequestered away from church, from friends,
2:17.3	from people with no ability to control our lives. It's okay to say that is not good. Would you say so,
2:23.4	Holly? Yeah, so Holly, you didn't tell anything you wanted to and then we'll get into it.
