“Unraveling Secrets of the Heart: Deborah Derrickson Kossmann’s Journey in ‘Lost Found Kept’ Reveals the Power of Redemption”
At the end of the clean-out, I was exhausted and kept getting sick (the house wasn’t great for my allergies and asthma). I had nightmares and I had to manage my reactivity because my sister and I were dealing with relocating and settling my mom. I certainly wasn’t my most patient with anybody and it took a few months to get back to baseline. That said, there are still smells that can trigger me. I feel like the image of the new family living in that house was a kind of chef’s kiss from the universe. It was so perfect. When we moved there when I was an adolescent, the house had been a new beginning for my family. Cleaned out, it was now another family’s fresh start. It felt like we’d managed to correct a bad spell or turn the universe right side up.
