In this episode of Powered by Joy Podcast, we have the privilege of stepping into a conversation about grief and processing the loss of a child. We explore how curiosity and being open minded played a huge part in the healing process for my guest Anna. She has been living a beautiful example of choosing to live seeking healing, connection and even joy after the death of a loved one rocked her world unexpectedly. It has been a pleasure to be a small part of her journey and see her growth and expansion.
One outcome of going through this process was Anna releasing the fear of judgement from others of how she was healing and processing. She stepped into a journey of discovering a spiritual world she had not experienced before. Starting with being open to a message from her son in the after-life via mediumship. This gave her a spark of light in a dark place in her life and launched her into curiosity and learning about how to connect with loved ones once they are no longer with us and pass away.
Moving through the emotions of grief by sitting in stillness and meditation, stepping outside and connecting with nature, listening to calming music often, and choosing to do new things that were creative, exploring new interests and hobbies. All of these were keys to transmuting the pain and darkness to love, peace, joy and connection with her son and miracles in daily life.
Choosing to live in love and not fear gave her freedom and she realized how limitless we are when we are in love and joy. This is how we have the most power to live a life we want to wake up to everyday. The power of choosing love over fear and in her words “Do Your Dance!”
