Hands Holding Hearts

For those grieving the loss of your mom this is for you…
 Some days grief arrives quietly. Other days it crashes through every memory, every song, every small thing that reminds me of my mom. Losing her has changed me forever. I still catch myself wanting to call her, to hear her voice, to tell her about my day.
People say time heals, but I think time just teaches you how to carry the love and the loss at the same time. I miss her deeply, every single day. But I’m grateful for the way she loved me, shaped me, and continues to live on in the parts of me she helped create.

If you still have your mom, hug her a little tighter today. And if you’re grieving too, I hope you know you’re not alone. ❤️

This is something I hear from clients a lot… why am I not feeling better? Should I be further along in my grief…. This is for you💙

It is okay to be in this space. The transition, the messy middle, the space in between. You've moved on but you haven't yet arrived. You've left behind what you needed to, but the puzzle pieces haven't all yet come together. There is messiness. There is waiting. There is uncertainty. You are wanting to rush but everything is moving slow. You are wondering if you will get to where you want to go. But where you are is perfect. The messy middle is for doors to close and new doors to open. This transition period is where things come undone so that they can be put back together. This is a season of just being, of trusting. This is a season to pause and take a breath. Have love for yourself, you are exactly where you need to be.
