Every now and then we get the opportunity to walk towards an ending on our own terms.
It could be the ending of a job, a relationship or even being present through the process of a loved one dying.
Meeting with Grief
Meeting with grief can feel overwhelming, exhausting and lonely, especially in a culture that treats grief as a burden and doesn't value the healing process. We often repress our grief so we can get 'back to normal' as soon as possible.
Recently, one of our customers, Deborah reached out to us for support as her father-in-law, who lives a few hours away, is in the final days of his life.
Deborah is feeling the weight of her partner's pain, her children losing their Grandad, wanting to support her mother-in-law - his primary caregiver, and is dealing with her own feelings of sadness.
Deborah says 'He has been unwell for a few years with stage 4 cancer, and yet this ending feels sudden and drawn out at the same time. We are trying to make plans and be supportive but is hard living hours away. We can't even help with walking the family dogs - who are very unsettled.
All of us feel really exhausted and heavy. It doesn't feel like it is going to get better any time soon.
I have had great success using the First Light Natural Health® Happy Kids Kit© and would love advice on what could help us to move through this time in an empowered and loving way, being gentle with each other and honouring the life of a great father and grandfather."
