As I sit here, grasping for words that could possibly capture the depths of emotion, I find myself at a loss. The air feels heavy, thick with an unimaginable sorrow. In moments like this, we are reminded of the fragility of life, the brevity of our time here, and the ever-present uncertainty that tomorrow may never come.
A few years ago, my best friend had to say an early, final goodbye to her son. I walked that sorrowful journey alongside her, watching the colour drain from her world, seeing her confront the emptiness that became a permanent resident in her soul. It was a heart-wrenching experience that I thought could never touch my life more intimately. Yet, here we are. The wheel of life has turned again, and this time it’s even closer to home—my boys have lost their stepbrother, and I am watching their stepmom go through the hellish ordeal of laying her own son to rest.
It rips my heart out of my chest. Truly. It makes you pause and look inward, taking stock of your own life, the choices you’ve made, and the time you’ve spent. Are you holding your loved ones close? Are you telling them you love them, not just assuming they know? It’s a cruel lesson in the volatile unpredictability of existence: one that forces you into a harsh confrontation with your fears and anxieties, daring you to find a glimmer of hope amid despair.
This dark chapter forces us to confront our deepest anxieties and fears. How do we navigate the labyrinth of grief? How do we make sense of a loss that defies logic and understanding? For those who have yet to face such a tragedy, it becomes a haunting “what if” that lingers in the background of our daily lives. We’re prompted to embrace introspection, compelled to search for meaning or solace within the crevices of our souls.
The pain of losing a child, even an adult child, reverberates through the very core of our being. It challenges our beliefs, disrupts our sense of balance, and leaves us with an emptiness that words fail to describe. But as someone who has faced life’s trials head-on, I believe in the resilience of the human spirit. The balance of masculine and feminine energies within us can guide us through the healing process, each in its unique way. One provides the strength to endure, while the other nurtures our broken souls back to life.
So, as we bear witness to this devastating loss, let’s hold space for grief and healing alike. It’s a stark reminder that we need to actively participate in shaping our world. The choices we make today form the legacy we leave behind. Life, in all its unpredictable ebbs and flows, is a journey we’re crafting every day, consciously or unconsciously. We owe it to ourselves, and to those we’ve lost, to make it a narrative filled with love, meaning, and—eventually—renewed hope.
In times like this, I lean into optimism—not as blind positivity, but as a focus on the potential for healing and renewed strength. As the days unfold, let’s nurture ourselves and those around us, choosing actions that reflect not just who we are, but who we aspire to be. As we support each other, let’s not forget that while our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects may suffer, they are also interconnected, providing multiple avenues for recovery and transformation.

Are you ready to stand in your truth and feel fulfilled so you can finally achieve all your desires?
This is the work I’m passionate about. I work with successful women who feel disempowered in their personal relationships to stand in their truth and communicate with confidence.
If you’re ready to discover the #1 block keeping you from standing in your truth and communicating with confidence in your relationships, join me for a complimentary Stand In Your Truth Call.
I strongly believe that each person has the ability to heal themselves and that my job is to bridge the gap between the client and the methods that best suit their process. No matter what our experience in life we can change our lives by taking action and not staying stuck. By helping ourselves, we help others who are struggling with similar experiences. No one comes through this world without struggle, but it’s how we move through those struggles that get us to the other side.
