Finding out that having children wasn't in my future really made me stop and rethink everything. It was a moment of deep reflection, you know? Suddenly, there were all these possibilities I hadn't considered before. It's interesting how life throws you a curveball, and suddenly, you're on a completely different path. After retiring from the Army and going through the heartache of miscarriages, I decided it was time for a change. I didn't just stay put; I moved from Oklahoma to Washington state, then to Florida, and finally Alaska. All within the span of less than 3 years! Each move wasn't just about the place but about finding pieces of myself along the way. It was a time for self-discovery, growth, and some serious soul work. During this period, I leaned into energy healing for myself. It was like turning inward to heal the wounds that were both seen and unseen. This journey also reignited my passion for learning. I went back to school, not just in a traditional sense, but also in learning from life itself. Meeting new people across the U.S., each with their own stories and wisdom, was incredibly enriching. I also dove deeper into my spirituality and started to understand my gifts to the world in a new light. Hypnosis and expanding my skills in energy healing became a way to not only navigate my own healing but to help others with theirs. It's amazing how sharing our own paths to healing can help lighten someone else's load. If there's a lesson in all of this, it's that sometimes the plans we have for ourselves aren't the ones life has in store for us. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. There's beauty and growth to be found in the unexpected turns... And healing isn't just a personal journey— It's something we can share, spreading a little bit of light wherever we go. PS: It was a beautiful day in Juneau Alaska this week! I got to play tourist for a day 😊 PSS: Wanna join us inside our monthly inner healing circle and discover what's in store for you post-miscarriage? (Link in bio)
First workshop since my husband died in March. I wasn’t sure if I’d manage to attend it but I did. Before he died Stuart was very clear that it was important to him my life did not end with his. Painting is relatively new to me but I have learned so much from @janemcmillanart and wanted to tweek my large canvas from the going large workshop as I wasn’t happy with the colours. It’s interesting how emotions are reflected in colour choice. I have opted for dark sky and rough seas as this has how life has felt for me since losing my person to cancer 5 weeks ago. He loved seeing the work I produced, he was my biggest cheerleader and encouraged me to explore my fledgling interest in learning to paint. We both loved the sea and spent as much time as we could going for weekends away along the coast, Stuart was particularly fond of the moray coast. It makes me sad I can’t share my efforts from today with him and he won’t be able to hang this in his office like he had wanted to do but I will always be grateful for him encouraging me to explore my interests. I feel my interest in art will be a positive influence on my process of healing and hopefully other courses and workshops I attend will get easier in time. Edit: @janemcmillanart suggested I think of a title as the piece is so meaningful. I have chosen to call it Grief comes in waves #newartist #acrylicpainting #acrylics #healinggrief #artheals #artofinstagram #art #artworkshop #newbieartist #griefjourney
On the winding streets That lead us nowhere The menu of the day is up This grief Keeps rising Shreds of glass From another galaxy In through my feet Out of my head A cleansing Sparkling beads of light Sing a song for me Chorus of tears Releasing Taking me in Lifting me up Healing the deepest wounds In the school of schools So I let it go Because I know The vastness of love On the other side #healingheartbreak #phoenixrising #healinglove #spirit #love #cleansing #guides #anewstory #lettinggo #healinggrief #newjoy #lettinggo
It will soon be May... And this is what I have to say; May has always been a month of mixed emotions. It is a month of many family birthdays but also the month when my mum sadly passed away in May 2015. She passed so suddenly, just like the weather changes - without any signs or warnings. The devastation of her loss is still with me and my family every day. May is also my dad's birthday, who we sadly lost exactly six months ago today. This will be his first heavenly birthday. To honour my parents, I will be gifting 21 remote Reiki sessions, starting from the 1st May. In return, I request a small donation for my chosen charity, which will be in memory of my parents. I will be posting details of my chosen charity in a few days' time. In the mean time, if you are interested in receiving this gift, please DM me, and I will send you further details of the session and the link for my justgiving page. Thank you in advance. #reijyotki #remotereiki #reiki #healinggrief #parentsinheaven #griefawareness #griefsupport #love #missingparents #honouringparents #loveishealing

One year ago today I set off on a pilgrimage back home to Ireland. After a several year separation from pandemic then Tashi’s end of life I was freed to return and reclaim the places and stories I left behind. It was a journey of remembering the sacred places I lived and shared with Tashi. I brought his cremains with me and laid them to rest with ancestors, in tombs, seashores, rivers and mountain tops. Our adventure together in life deserved no less than in death. To honor his great lofty spirit with a ceremonial ascension with the ancestors. My journey was so epic healing and magical. It was a deeply private one as grief and death rites should be. I also had a transformational healing on Knocknarae, a visit from Queen Maeve that lifted an immense burden I’d been carrying for over 20 years. Im still integrating this gift of sovereignty. So I’m going to share a bit of my pilgrimage this week in my stories and posts if you’d like to follow along. I gave a talk on Bealtaine at the Hill of Uisneach fire festival which was a great honor. I’ll be sharing it online soon and will announce the date this week. Stay tuned … What makes the medicine of a wounded healer so potent is they’ve walked in your shoes. What makes the wings of the shaman fly so high is the eagle that guides the way. What makes the heroines quest so transformational is the moon shedding again and again. What makes the griever carry such a heavy weight, it’s love, love, love. #irelandquest #memorialjourney #griefjourney #healinggrief #naturehealing #sacredireland #heroinesjourney #lifestory #shamanichealing #sacredfeminine #riseup #knocknarae #petloss #irelandtravel #traumahealing #ecotherapy #soulretrieval

Grief feels a lot like winter. Spring doesn't mean the grief is over, but it does remind us the flowers were resting, getting ready to bloom. "Where flowers bloom, so does hope."

We finally made it to the @congcemetery’s first public art installation, “The Landscape Listens” by @iamtommybobo There are two components to the installation: a #windphone and its companions, a meadow of mirrors, a school of 150 portals floating just above the ground, inspired by #EmilyDickinson poem “There’s a certain slant of light (320)”, with these two penultimate lines about grief, “When it comes, the landscape listens, shadows hold their breath…” The concept of a wind phone was new to me. It dates back to 2010, when #ItarüSasaki from Ōtsuchi in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan was mourning his cousin, lost abruptly to cancer. He installed a disconnected phone booth in his garden as a way to keep talking to his love one. He said, “Because my thoughts couldn’t be relayed over a regular phone line, I wanted them to be carried on the wind.” When a year later the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami killed thousands—10% Otsuchi’s population was lost—Sasaki opened his phone to the public, so others could process their grief in this way (there is also a notebook for another way to connect). As Sasaki’s phone was visited by more and more people, more wind phones sprung up in Japan and around the world—including now DC. Together with the mirror meadow, it is an ethereal, contemplative, moving space. The installation will remain at the cemetery “from the spring equinox to the summer solstice” (a bit longer, actually: June 30, 2024). #congressionalcemetery #sitespecificinstallations #earthart #artinstallation #tommybobo #grief #griefart #healinggrief #transplantedtatar #longwalksdc #dc #dcartist #dcart #acreativedc #dcpublicart #dcarts #publicart #igdc #kineticsculpture #thingstodoindc #walkwithlocalsdc #dcchasers #dctography #mydccool #dcmoments #theotherdc #exposeddc

🌖✨ Late on this #earthday2024 I’m thinking of my Mom and how on many nights when I would call her she would be out (often in the dark) feeding the raccoons. Mom loved feeding the hummingbirds and abandoned cats too. She recycled everything and was very frugal! Mom cared about all beings! 🌎 🦝 I miss Mom a lot and this sweet children’s book brought back nice memories of how she loved #raccoons and always wanted to make me @schwanscompany #frozenpizza 🍕 #childrensbooks #loveyourmother #earthday #pizzaparty #healinggrief #griefjourney #raccoonsofinstagram

Never have I ever been in a room full of people who are childless not by choice. It took me many hours to realize how special such gathering is and how much I guard myself from the certain interactions with parents. Not that I don’t like parenting people or not happy for them - I am, very much so. Many of my friends are parents. It’s just sometimes their well meaning comments, remarks and mentions remind me of something I strived so much for, but didn’t succeed. I am coming to terms with that, but a constant reminder could be tough. Past weekend I was in a room full of people like me. It was incredible. Freeing. Emotional. Triggering and healing at the same time. Rejuvenating. Inspiring. I now have so many new friends and a strong sense of a community, even though we are cities (and countries) apart. My artistic pursuits got a renewed sense of purpose and many new supporters. I thank you all. Thank you @childlesscollective for making this gathering a reality. And @singersamanne for being my right hand there. I made these images a few years back, called “Healing tears”. They are exactly what many of us felt there. Releasing the tension, getting rid of the grief, feeling compassion and healing our soul. These are self-portraits, each done as a single long exposure photograph with a string of lights. #healinggrief #healing #tears #tearsofjoy #childlessnotbychoice #selfportraitphotography #longexpoelite #longexpo_addiction #griefislove #colourful_shots #childless #fineartphotography #lightafterdarkness #crymeariver

When people take the time to share their thoughts about a ceremony I have delivered, it makes my day. As a funeral celebrant, I take the time to understand each family and their loved one. Telling the story of their life and the relationships they have nurtured in a way that captures the life they lived. A unique celebrant-led ceremony is a perfect way to say farewell to a loved family member and begin to heal from grief. it is also a privilege I never take for granted. #love #cherishedmoment #dorsetcelebrant #sayinggoodbye #funeralcelebrant #ilovemyjob #healinggrief
GRIEF CAN BE GENETICALLY PASSED DOWN In a #qhht session we discovered that grief can be passed down through the genetic line, often transforming or manifesting as illness or disease. Usually it’s the lungs & heart that are affected. By discovering the origin of the lung or heart issue we were able to discover the long since past ancestor who suffered terrible grief. His grief was passed onto his son who transformed it into a physical lung issue. Many generations later it was still unhealed causing so many physical issues in the present life of my client. By discovering the origin we were able to heal the grief going all the way back inter-generationally & also to assist the physical healing in the present. The subconscious or Highself is so amazing in what it’s able to reveal. Things that the conscious mind could never comprehend, it’s able to bring that forward with such insightfulness. For those of you suffering physical illness that are genetic it’s possible to find the origin of it & heal it physically emotionally & spiritually. #miracleshappen . . . #qhhtsession #qhhtpractitioner #quantumhealinghypnosistechnique #dolorescannon #grief #healing

Healing and praying together 🙏🏼 This was the best experience… There was a feeling inside this temple the was like no other, this the 2nd most purest source of holy water in the world Tirta Empul, ubud,This is also owned by the king and queen of Indonesia, this is where people come to heal, cleanse and pray, we prayed at 9 different fountains each one having a different healing benefit for different parts of the body, we learnt that at each fountain you do this 👇🏼 1- first you ask for permission from the gods to pray. 2- Take 3 sips 3-Then 3 splashes of water on your face 4- lastly get under the foundation and wet your head. we spent 2 hours in this crisp cold spring fed water praying, healing and cleansing,all I can say is it left me feeling incredible and my hair and skin felt extra soft, Thankyou to our beautiful friends who experienced this with us truly appreciate it Kristen & Addy… #cleansing #healing #temple #balitemple #praying #pray #ubud #holywater #balifountains #healinggrief #healing #lossandgrief #healingtogether #tirtaempultemple
I just absolutely LOVE when the pieces turn out to look galactic. Space has always intrigued me since I was little, I don't understand it at all, but it's so awe inspiring. This piece was made with metal powder which gives it the gold dust appearance form @advancedmetallics If I made you a custom galaxy piece, what colors would you want? #orgonite #orgonepyramid #orgoneenergy #reelsinstagram #resinartist #rotd #resinartwork #viral #positivevibes #healinggrief #positivity #southflorida #ocean #treasurecoast #microradiation #healingthyself #meditation #5g #5gprotection #trending #reeloftheday #healingjourney #healingcrystals #crystals #emfprotection #potd #emfprotector #chargingplate #reelsinstagram #altardecor

When there is nothing you can do but surrender completely to the terrible events you’re going through, and try to embrace your situation as an opportunity for major spiritual upgrade through cataclysmic change, Essence of Blackthorn brings the promise that you WILL not only get through this but will transform through the process – however severe – in ways you will later come to appreciate. There are plenty of other remedies that deal effectively with shock, grief, loneliness, sadness, despair, fear and many of the other deeply distressing states which blackthorn addresses but seldom is there a remedy that can grant such lasting peace of mind and heart as blackthorn does. Seldom, too, is there a remedy that can help transform such severe cases of darkness and despair, grief and fear as to truly enable those in need to overcome these states as successfully as they will with the loving support of this plant spirit medicine. Essence of Blackthorn assists with the following negative states: 🌿 Dark Night of the Soul / Shamanic sickness 🌿 Devastation and despair 🌿 Loss, grief at partings of all kinds 🌿 Extreme suffering 🌿 Turmoil and overwhelm 🌿 Abandonment trauma Within days of taking, this wonderful essence brings: 🌿 Faith in the goodness of the universe 🌿 Perseverance and self-overcoming 🌿 Enhanced survival skills 🌿 Promise of triumphing over adversity 🌿 Re-emergence, positive change 🌿 Groundedness 🌿 Calm / smooth initiation 🌿 Rediscovery of the light within and without #flowerelixirs #floweressences #floweressence #flowerremedy #vibrationalmedicine #plantspiritmedicine #blackthorn #flowerrememedies #darknightofthesoul #survivor #survival #majorlifechanges #despair #spiritualjourney #traumahealing #healingjourney #healinggrief #energyhealing #overcomingfears #overcomingtrauma #crisishealing

Healing does not mean forgetting. It means remembering with more love (for your parts) than with pain. When we talk about healing, it's about acknowledging the pain and the experiences that caused it, but it's also about embracing the wounded parts of the self with compassion and understanding.💜

Funerals are not just about sadness - they are about love, support, celebration and acknowledgement. Grief for your loss is there whether or not you have, or attend, a funeral. But coming together, celebrating the life of someone special, acknowledging the hole their absence leaves, and finding comfort in each other’s memories and arms, are all vital elements of starting to find a way through this time to the new reality of life. Put simply, funerals are important because life is important. 💜 Call us on 4636 9600 or visit our website www.burstows.com.au to discuss and find out more about how we can help you through this journey. #DealingWithGrief #Funerals #FuneralService #ToowoombaFunerals #Love #Grief #Loss #HealingGrief #HealingJourney #Burstows #TalkAboutGrief

Robin has been part of the Healing Hearts community for many years. She has been part of grief support groups since losing her son and shares some of her story here. 1. What brought you to Brian’s Healing Hearts and the Brian Dagle Foundation? On September 24, 2014 my life changed forever. I learned my son, C.J. was found on the side of the road after a horrific accident. I was devastated. It felt like life was sucked right out of me. Day after day I struggled. I asked myself every single day, “WHY?” Why did you take my son away from me? As I continued to struggle, I was approached with information about Brian’s Healing Hearts, the Brian Dagle Foundation. I decided to attend a support group and I found hope! 2. How has loss impacted your life? The first year after my son died, it didn’t seem real. It was like living in a bad dream. The second year, his loss became reality as each day, each holiday, and each birthday came and went. Things that mattered didn’t matter anymore. I was lost in a deep dark place - a hole that I couldn’t climb out of. Everyone around me just didn’t get it! They continued on with their lives, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t move forward. I was stuck. I felt so alone from one day to the next. 3. How have you found hope and healing through Brian’s Healing Hearts and the Brian Dagle Foundation? Talking with and getting support from others gave me the hope I needed to survive. It helped me heal. As time moves forward, I can walk through not only my own journey of grief but can walk beside others who are going through theirs. I have felt the hope and healing I thought I would never feel again. Thank you Ann, Paul, and the Brian Dagle Family for giving me your hearts and walking me through my journey of grief. You have given me hope and the ability to heal from my own broken heart. (continued in first comment)
I created @growaroundthegrief back in August - after losing our sweet Birdie in June - as a place to talk about grief & loss. I made it a separate space because I didn't want anyone coming to my established "gardening" page and thinking "Another post about grief? Where's the gardening content?" But it's now a permanent part of who I am, how I live my life, what I do, & what I value. It's inevitable that eventually, everyone will experience profound loss. And it's time to stop denying it. It's time to stop hiding our grief like it's shameful. I will continue to give my grief a voice, because I will never stop loving Birdie. My relationship with her will continue on, just in a different way. I believe I'm honoring her life & my time spent with her by continuing to talk about her & how I'm working through my grief. Grief has been the most intense & unwavering experience for me. 10 months later and I am still struggling through it. In 10 years, I know I will still struggle. And that's why I think we need to allow these feelings to surface, and talk openly about them. I will continue to talk about my experience with grief & loss because I know there is always someone out there who is going through the same thing. Community is something that has helped me survive the ebbs & flows of grief, and if one person can come here and know that they're not alone, then that is good enough reason for me to continue to share my story. In a world that is in a constant state of hurry, I know that we fail to hold space for our grief. The world doesn't wait for us. We have families & businesses & jobs & responsibilities demanding our attention. We don't make time to truly sit with our feelings. We stuff them down so we can be "present." What if I told you that you'd be more present if you made time to feel all the shitty feels? I no longer care if opening up about my journey makes you uncomfortable, uneasy, or unhappy. This is my corner of the internet, and I will share as I please. I'm not confined to a niche, nor do I fit in any box. I encourage you to take what you need, and leave what you don't. The people that are meant to find me, will. 🖤 Continued in comments...

Ask yourself what Rings true. Be willing to see truth in unexpected places. Make God bigger than the tiny God box you’d been given. God isn’t just in this book that you take with you to church. God isn’t just in this book that you read for 10 minutes in the morning before you go about your day. God is everywhere. Once you believe that and know that to be true, you can start seeing the ways God’s looking to show love to you through signs, synchronicities, and creation.
