In this powerful episode, I sat down with Angela Clement, who shared her moving journey of losing her husband Blaine to stage four colon cancer in October 2021 after 35 years together. Their life on their ranch underwent dramatic changes when Blaine fell ill, leading to multiple transitions, including selling their ranch, Angela's early retirement as a school principal, and relocating to be closer to medical care. Through her journey, Angela discovered the transformative power of energy healing, which helped Blaine with his symptoms and became her pathway to healing and her new purpose in life.
Angela went on to share how the traditional narrative of "grieving for a lifetime" didn't resonate with her spirit, leading her to choose a path of active healing through grief coaches and energy healers. Her dedication to healing led her to become an energy healer, grief coach, and author of her book, "Awakening Through Grief." We explored the importance of processing emotions, particularly anger, and creating safe spaces to feel our feelings fully.
One of the most beautiful insights Angela shared was her understanding that love is infinite and expansive - comparing it to how having a second child doesn't diminish the love for the first, showing how loving again doesn't diminish the love we hold for those we've lost. She spoke movingly about how Blaine continues to be present in her life as a guiding angel, teaching her that love transcends physical boundaries. Angela now supports others through group sessions, healing programs, and angel readings, helping them find hope and meaning after loss. Her story is a powerful testament to how grief can transform into purpose and healing.
