The article reflects on the author's childhood memories of watching 'General Hospital' alongside her mother. After a long hiatus from the show, the author stumbled upon a rerun in 2017 and felt a wave of nostalgia that reminded her of her mother's memory. This connection deepened as the show addressed personal themes, such as health issues mirroring real-life struggles. The author found solace in the series during challenging times, recognizing its therapeutic value despite its soap opera nature.
"For the next couple of decades, the show was completely off my radar. But one night in 2017, thanks to a case of raging insomnia, I happened across a rerun of a recent episode in the middle of the night."
"As a therapist and mother of small children, I was greatly in need of some self-care in the form of lighthearted entertainment, and this was just what the doctor ordered (wink)."
