Many of us have dealt with death in our lives or are dealing with it as we speak, especially as we get older we face the reality of our loved ones getting older and not having much time left with us. I thought this topic was important to talk about especially with the year that we have had of losing so many due to COVID, violence, and the natural disasters of the world. I invited my dear friend Samantha Denning, who has her own practice as a coach, mediator and facilitator, to share her own and very personal experience of losing her mother at a young age due to cancer, losing both grandparents, but most recently her grandfather. How do we cope, how do we grieve, how do we heal or even allow ourselves to heal in a healthy way with so much going on?
Some favorite messages of mine during this episode:
“Anchoring in those special moments…”
“Give yourself permission to disconnect.”
“Honoring for yourself what is true in each moment.”
“Accepting that they are gone.”
“Managing and honoring your capacity.”
“Move away from putting boundaries on your feelings.”
“Stop Shoulding Yourself!”
If you have lost a loved one, are grieving or just having a tough time and just need some help and guidance, or maybe have questions, Samantha and I are available via the Madison / Savile Insider FaceBook Group or send us a message on Madison / Savile IG, Facebook or website. Links are below.
