The Woman Who Didn't Disappear. Narelle's Story
I want to tell you about Narelle.
Narelle had brain surgery. Then seizures. Then redundancy, losing a career she had built over decades. She could have disappeared. Completely. Permanently.
She didn't.
In the middle of all of it, the medical terror, the professional collapse, Narelle kept showing up. She kept getting dressed. She kept turning up to her life.
She worked toward her Distinguished Toastmaster award. And she got it.
She got promoted.
Narelle is one of the most remarkable women I have ever worked with. Not because of what happened to her. Because of how she chose to respond.
The women who stay invisible do not stay invisible because they are weak. They stay invisible because no one has shown them a specific path back. Because the gap between knowing they want to come back and knowing exactly where to begin feels too wide to cross alone.
Narelle crossed it.
Two weeks from today I am swimming in eleven-degree water in the dark of the Tasmanian winter. Completely naked. At almost 64.
I am thinking about the women who told me they haven't worn colour in eleven years. I am thinking about the women who stopped looking in mirrors. I am thinking about Narelle. And I am thinking about my mother Elizabeth, who put on her lipstick before she let her son carry her out the door.
