Today was rather dull, and I found myself dwelling in my gloom. Despite not wanting to stay in that state, I had a list of activities to do but still felt a resistance.
I motivated myself to rise and began channeling energy from my feet up to the crown chakra at the top of my head. As I continued to nurture and elevate it throughout my body, I felt significantly better afterward.
I grabbed my journal and started writing my way out of this mood. Try it, it works!
That’s a comforting thought, isn’t it? 🌟 Life often presents us with challenges, and while they can feel overwhelming at times, our resilience and inner strength help us navigate through them. Absolutely! Our inner resilience acts as a guiding light during life’s storms. It’s like an invisible anchor that keeps us steady, even when the waves crash around us. Remember, you’re never alone in this journey. As an End of Life/Grief Educator and a grieving parent, I’m familiar with the profound impact of these experiences on individuals and their loved ones. Often, we find ourselves unable to move forward. Allow me to assist you in bridging the gap between feeling stuck and leading a functional life.

Losing a child is an indescribable pain, and the loneliness that follows can be equally profound. When a child passes away, the emptiness left behind is palpable—a void that no words or gestures can fill. Here are some insights on coping with this unique form of loneliness:

I’m here brainstorming, trying to determine my next steps. We’ve all found ourselves in this place at some point, often more than once in our lives. It’s not always about things going wrong; sometimes, it’s about evaluating whether we’re on the right path.
Throughout the years, I have been guided by the wisdom of numerous educational and spiritual giants. I’ve acquired a wealth of knowledge, and the most precious lesson I’ve learned is that the best advice often comes from within. Even after consulting these giants, I turn inward for guidance. This approach applies to friendships as well. I consider the counsel of trusted friends, then synthesize the information to make my own choices. This isn’t to say I distrust their advice or undervalue their opinions; rather, it signifies my ability to make informed decisions independently.
When the time comes to gather all my facts from friends and various resources, I take a moment to relax and engage in deep breathing. I always have a notebook and pen close at hand, and I invite guidance from the spirit for my highest good. Initially, this process wasn’t always straightforward. I understood the mechanics of breathing, yet quieting my mind was a challenge.
My approach is to journal everything. I write down everything that’s upsetting me, along with all the options I’ve been given. After that, I pause and take several deep breaths. I then seek guidance from the spirit for the next step towards my ultimate goal. Finally, I let the pen flow freely.
It’s been some time since my last update here. I’ve recently entered singlehood after a 17-year relationship. I’ll omit the painful details, but I’m open to sharing the insights I’ve gained since he departed our home.
Though this wasn’t my first breakup, it felt completely different. The echoes of past traumas resurfaced. In the beginning, it took a while for me to recover from the initial shock and work through the various stages of grief.
At first, he was the chef, and I relied on him for cooking and grocery shopping. Being catered to was enjoyable, but I didn’t anticipate the detrimental effect on my self-reliance. It left me feeling dependent, a condition I had always tried to evade. It’s something you don’t realize at the moment.
As time passed, I learned to function independently and I’m proud to say that I’m still standing strong.
A year and a half has passed, and I’m still in this house. I’ve been unable to sell it despite doing everything possible to prepare it. I feel it’s time to begin my new life, yet it seems the universe has different plans for me. I persist in journaling, and with every moment that passes, new insights reveal themselves to me. I remain patient, immersing myself in each revelation.
I’ve always understood that loss isn’t confined to death. Yet, the magnitude of loss I’m experiencing feels overwhelming. Nevertheless, I’ve come to understand that healing from my partner’s departure is perhaps necessary before I can start to move forward. As I downsize and transition to a new area, the life I once knew seems to be fading away continuously. I am ready and willing to embrace the act of letting go.
Its is Friday afternoon, I’m relatively in a good place. Like most, I would like the world to be a better place. I reach out and talk and help others that have lost a child (children), but I have realized that I want to help more with moving on with their lives. Our children are with us all the time. So making a choice to be happy or sad, healthy or sick is all up to us!
There will always be certain dates, situations or things that trigger you. That is totally normal. However, not fully living is not what our children would have wanted us to do.
First we have to make our selves happy. What does it look like. Reading and educating yourself. Good food plan and exercise, journaling and meditation, communicating with others. Communication that is only moving you forward. Believe me, I’ve had to walk away from some.
in the beginning, I felt guilty at first, when I started to do well. Each day gets better. You can apply this to other lost ones in your life.
Love to hear how you have moved along!
Years ago I was taught to always live in the question. In present time it is extremely essential for my healing on my spiritual path. What does that mean? It means that no matter what you hear, read, watch, there is a good chance that there is something else really going on. Don’t blindly accept it. Research it.
In this world of divide and conquer, so many just simply believe what what is in front of them. Watch the variety of crime shows and the thought that goes through the mind, it is just a TV show. No, it is going on all around you. But because on the news they said it happen, it happens. Or, I shouldn’t believe that it is conspiracy. But maybe, it is far fetched. But just maybe there is bit of truth to it. This does not only go for political. It is for spiritual as well.
There are so many people misleading others. At this point in my life, I ran into quite a few, and didn’t leave the lot of them until I got my behind burned. This was all in the line of seeking a spiritual mentor.
Telling someone that they should not study with another side, or mention what they learned from another source or group, Is a big red flag. This just happened to me in one group that I seemed to like. People were absolutely lovely. Then at some point, I was trying to understand something, by mentioning something I learned in another philosophy. They tried to squash me down like a bug. I backed out. I was told you have to play with what they are doing. I said no. I live in the question and If I can’t have free will. It is not for me.
What ever you are downloading into your brain, from what ever source. Always take a minute and ask your higher self is this good for you. Your higher self has you in it’s best interest.
Because of different pathways I took through out my life, I have chosen to take a balanced approached. I learned from a professor years back, that anything in fanaticism is brain dead. That is a value I hold close. Maybe sometimes you have to dive in deep to understand. It is important to pull back the reins to a balance stance. Choose balance, at this moment wisely. Because what you are studying isn’t always a bad choice. Sometimes it is the organization. Walk with your eyes wide open.
After years ( I can say years !) of being a truth seeker of many philosophies and religions, I honestly was spinning my wheels looking back. Not one proved to be more fulfilling than the other. If so, it was short lived. The knowledge base I have developed, is amazing, but not quite the whole Akashic records!
For this attention deficit goddess, I was all over the place. I’d get pulled to one then the other. What I didn’t understand, I made charts for. This helped me to put the pieces together. What I found was there was nothing under the sun that is new. Just several different authors spinning the same wheel. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Not all people get the message in the same manner.
The other issues I ran into was seeking a teacher. I wanted a mentor. There were some good ones, some bad ones. The bad teachers were the ones that would not release the student. This was due to their own ego issues. Nothing stopped me, I kept looking. They were there for a purpose. Well they were all there for a purpose, I have come to learn. Some got to show me my shadow side.
Then there were the groups. When I was back in college, I did a paper on cults. They all have a big lie, they tell you who you can or can’t talk to. They let you know you can only be with them in their thinking. When I first started in a group, the information was pretty much interesting and attracted my attention. The people were so friendly. Like most, that is what I needed more than the information, now that I look back on it. Most of the time I got out in time unscathed. There were times I payed a dear price with my mind, body and spirit. I picked up my big girl pants and moved on.
In my autumn to winter years of my life, I have not stopped seeking. By this time, I recognized that both eastern and western thoughts were basically the same. They all had the basic moral laws to live by.
In 1996, I started in my Reiki Energy training. In 2000, I was certified as a Reiki Master/Teacher Certificate. I meditated before, but even more so when healing myself and others. As I pulled the energy down from God through my crown chakra. I learned to be still and clear my mind. By the time I achieved mastery, learned to listen to myself, by getting messages from my higher self. I trust this is God, Goddess, Spirit, Buddha or Allah. Doesn’t matter. I stand on the shoulders of all these great masters. They taught me well. They are all of the collective consciousness. All of them are listening. But the main thing am I? Now I can say yes!
The best lesson I learned, was to ask my higher self if there is something needed to be learned from all this knowledge. I’m laughing now, but my Attention Deficit came in handy. I learned a specific piece of knowledge, got anxious and moved on. It was not meant for me to stay with it, I’d read the book for days if it was truly calling me. Even when someone is being evil and mean There is a reason, they were placed in my movie for me to learn a lesson.
I didn’t do this at the time you were going through the process. But we hold on to these experiences in every cell of our body. It is time to release the negativity. Take a look at what is still ailing ourselves and let it go. It is Never too late.
I get sidetracked just like everyone else. That is right, even forget to write on here. Life happens and get distracted. Time flies. Which of these 10 ideas should I write about and then can’t make a decision. Really! I’m regrouping today! One day at a time!
I went to the doctor the other day for my general check up. This doctor did not know me from anything. I did not choose her, my other doctor left. Obviously she hasn’t checked my labs. She looked at me and said I was going to die soon and I needed to get on statins for my cholesterol (numbers normal)and metformin for my diabetes (numbers pre-diabetic). This past year I reversed my diabetes. I stood up for myself and I told her that I have a team of people that help me. Either she joins me or I’ll find another doctor. I was glad that I stood up for myself. However, I was so floored, I came home an ate junk food. I do not do well with abusive behavior.
I do know I have to get back on my plan. I got off it for a bit with dealing with my usual stressful stuff. But I certainly did not deserve that. Knowing that what they call healing is about the bottom line, and having first hand experience is another. What happened with…I see you went up 2 points on your A1C, but your pre-diabetic still, that is good. How can I help you?
This is why I have mostly worked with alternative medicine for several years. I am not perfect and know that. As I look back. I see that I have taken 1 or 2 steps back, not 10. I’m progressing in the direction of my life goal. That is what counts. My time between me being off target and on, is less and less. When you can look at things like that, you are ahead of the game. That is where the control is. Planning, recording time in your schedule. You see proof.
I use the digital calendar, however, I also use a paper planner. I just need to write it down. That writing is my connection for it to sinking into my brain. For me that works. Everyone has a different way to keep themselves organized. Go to your inner voice. She knows the answer! Find yours. Just do it! As I share with you, I remind myself. Have a great day!
