July 7th, 2018 is the day my life, as I knew it, ended. It is the day my son, Christopher, died after a lengthy experience with cancer. My son, my child, my heart was in that moment torn from my life by the unapologetic and single minded hand of death. I tried in vain to describe the aftermath of this terrible event in the podcasts I did with Kristin Sunanta Walker called “A Mother’s Grief” and have no wish to retell the story, but I hope to offer some insights into the grief process and how it affects our body and mind along with some suggestions for self care that can provide some ease in the transition to our new life, the one we must learn to live without the presence of our child in physical form. I will not promise that the hole in your heart will ever be healed, nor will I say with any degree of certainty that one day, the tears will be forever dried. I can only describe what I have done to make my daily life less devastating and painful. I miss my son fiercely and while I accept that it was his time to leave this human experience, I want him back. As a healer, psychic and medium, my experience of this life event may be different from yours but what is not different is the fact that we are mothers who have lived through the ultimate nightmare, the death of our child. May we all heal…
