Grieving for a Loved One

It has been a year since my dear friend Debbie passed. I wrote this article about her last year just 13 hours before she departed. In her honor and for those of you who are grieving, I publish this article again.

The journey ofgrieving for a loved onehas begun for me. It all began early last month when I heard that my friend Debbie’s cancer had returned. Another friend Chris and I went to see her soon after she had a series of tests done. We were startled by how weak Deb had gotten so suddenly. My intuition told me that our friend was dying.

My mind still has a tough time accepting this truth especially since it is happening so quickly. It is so hard to believe that I amgrieving for a loved onewho is not yet 5o years old. One of 4 of us Seattle friends, she ate organic foods, had a positive attitude and created beautiful art.

This is not supposed to happen, my mind says, as this was to be our 11th year of the 4 of us “YoYos” gettingtogether for a long weekend away. We spent time together to connect, laugh, cry, dance, eat, drink, play and do art on our special weekends once a year. We are soul sisters bonded in love. Now I amgrieving for a loved onewho is a part of me, a part of us 4 YoYos.

Releasing the Pain

Releasing the painof grief has been hard for me. Lord knows I have had ample opportunities to practice grieving since I have had so many losses in my life. Used to playing the role of the strong one is one of my obstacles. I have to allowing myself to break down and cry in grief.

Usually I am the first one to encouragereleasing the painfor others in their process. How ironic that it is a challenge for me to cry. This morning, however, the floodgates of pain were released in me perhaps because my daughter was at work and my husband was out of town. There was no one to be strong for except me.

Afterreleasing the painthrough deep waves of “the ugly cry,” as I like to call it, I feel lighter, freer and more relaxed. It takes so much energy to resist the natural impulse to cry. Surrendering to it and letting it go is like releasing the steam of a pressure cooker. Aaahhhhh!!!

Reiki Healing

Reiki Healingis the perfect soothing balm for a broken heart. When I place my two hands on my chest my heart drinks in the gentle waves of the universal life force energy ofReiki. My shoulders relax, my lower back releases and my soul is comforted from within. I am not alone as the great comforter Kwan Yin is present.

Reiki Healingis a powerful yet subtle way to love my frail friend. Since I am powerless over her process of dyingReikihelps me to stay focused on witnessing her journey and supporting it naturally through the power of LOVE.

She makes sure that we have quiet time alone for she knows the sacredness of this healing energy medicine. Watching her drift intoReikisleep pleases me as it relieves her pain andhelps her in her transition to the other side.

Remember to support yourself in your process of grieving for a loved one. Reiki Healing is a gentle energy medicine that is a powerful jewel for self healing that embraces us in wholeness.

Note: Photo of hands was taken in 2010 by Jayne during the last weekend the 4 of us YoYos had together. In the image I am holding Deb’s hands. Little did I know that I would be using this image for an article about grieving for her 10 months later.

Almost 13 hours after publishing this article in 2011 our dear friend Deb left her body to join the other angels. OM!!!!!

For more than 29 years I have been helping many people from all walks of life and across the world, including India, China and England. Some clients prefer to come see me in person for anIntuitive Reading.

However, the majority of my clients call me for phone sessions. Intuition is unlimited as God is unlimited so it doesn’t matter whether you are in the same room with me or in Hong Kong! My intention is the same – to serve as a channel of clarity and healing to assist you in all areas of your life. Doing this work makes me truly happy and I blessed to be able to help people and do what I love.

When you set up anIntuitive Readingin Seattleor a phone session with me, it’s best to write downyour questions ahead of time. Thishelps focusyour intention on what it you wantguidance for inyour life.

At the beginning of yourIntuitive Reading, I go deep into a meditative state and ask Spirit to allow me to be a clear and pure channel of love, healing and guidance for you. The answer to each question flows through me in words and pictures and the information received is spiritual in nature, yet practical for every day life.
