Skydiving moms

Two truths are present and contradict eachother. I'm an active skydiver.i stopped during pregnancy and a year after to be present for my daughter. I recently made my first jump back and was terrified. Not of jumping but the what if. I used to say I'd die doing something I love. But now that isn't true, I know I would just want one more hug from my baby. How do I keep going? I want to show her to be brave and have a life outside of your family. But I don't see how it can be worth the risk . Any advice?

I’m in the same boat as you!! There are soooo many opportunities to show your baby how to be brave. You have to ask yourself if the anxiety and the what if is really worth it. To be a good and safe skydiver you have to be a frequent skydiver. For me I’m looking at it through a lifetime lens and if i still care to do it 20 years from now or whatever then i will! Personally ive gotten myself hurt and have seen accidents where the brain injury forever changes the person, to me i can do so many other things that still spark so much joy. Hope this helps and def will keep talking about it!
