Transitions, Grief & Loss

Transition…passage from one state to another, brought on by an event.

Sometimes it can hit you like a Mack truck.

Even if you choose the change, it’s still change.

Humans don’t always deal with that easily.

Emotions can be overwhelming.

Sleep is affected.

We must adapt to new environments and new states of being.

There can be resistance to change. That’s okay, too. Though it can make it harder than it needs to be.

When devastation hits, it’s normal to have a whole range of feelings about it – shock, sadness, anger, irritability, numbness, sleep issues, and various somatic symptoms, too.

Grief…deep emotional response to a great loss.

The loss of a loved one through illness or death.

A break-up.

Divorce.

A job loss.

The loss of a dream.

There’s nothing wrong with you if you’re having difficulty through a transition or loss.

It’s normal to be challenged by it.

Support and help processing the feelings can turn a difficult situation into a time of self-care and growth.

A new birth of self in a dark time.

I believe a healer can only take their client as deep as they’ve gone themselves.

You should know I’ve had some big losses in my life and recovered – well.

Relationship endings. The death of both parents. Care taking family members with serious illness. Multiple moves to new cities.
