I often find Mother’s Day and all of those days where a lot of significance and meaning is piled upon them -so intense.
Like Christmas Day, Easter time.
New Year’s Eve. Birthdays. All the days!
There is the lead up and the massive highs and lows of emotions before it.
The expectations of how the day should go. All this ridiculous expectation of being surrounded with family, love, friends, fluffy bunny rabbits and rainbows. Oftentimes it’s just not like that. Not at all.
Navigating all these peaks and troughs is so intense.
There was a time when I would try to numb out all of this with alcohol. But now I’d get an a**wooping if I did that.
I knew before Mother’s day what would help me to step out of that, for just a moment.
Of feeling the collective grief around Mother’s day and my own grief about it.
Of being a Mother and being Mothered.
Being so overwhelmed with it and taken over by it.
So I opened up my work schedule to a couple of clients who had reached out to me as their Mothers had recently passed away. I usually take the day of on Sundays. But I knew this was gonna help them along and in some ways me and us all.
It was truly beautiful to bring through their dear Mothers from the other side. Opening up the most amazing conversation bringing love, healing and magical moments of connection.
Stepping out of my own World. My own grief. And yet in some way this healing coming through for us all. Spirit works like that. In such wonderful ways.
If you are still coming off the back of an intense Mother’s Day please send me a heart and I’ll bring you into the healing.
I am with you on the journey.
