 May the coming days be filled with light and healing. Your loved ones are with you in your heart and your memories. Celebrate them, talk about them, and if you feel like it prepare a little gift for them. (smile) I always buy my mother's favourite flowers and in my mind's eye I see her smile. I wish you a blessed Holiday Season with supportive friends and family that are there for you when you need them. From my heart to yours, Jacqueline Two years ago today my mother died. Although I worked creatively through my own grieving process and have found a beautiful way of honouring her by helping others, I still feel the sadness when this day comes closer. Plus there is still a little bit of guilt that I wasn’t there in person when she died and I want to give space and healing to these feelings again in the next couple of days. While you are reading this I will be at the coast of Nova Scotia near Peggy’s Cove. I will be sitting on the rocks, writing a letter to my mother, and remember all the laughs and tears we shared together. I remember our wonderful travels through Greece, Spain, Germany, and Nova Scotia. Her adventurous spirit when she went onto a wale watching boat with me knowing well that she might get seasick in the middle of it. We had a blast. (smile) Do you have an upcoming anniversary? What will you do? Will you be alone or will you share it with friends and family? It is helpful to have a plan, a ritual for those special days like birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. Do you need help to find the right ritual to honour your relationship? Here is a link to an online course with eleven rituals to use and adjust. Blessing to you and yours, Jacqueline  |
