Welcome, incredible women! Today, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment as we explore the transformative power of trusting your intuition. In this article, tailored especially for women who are navigating grief, we will delve into the profound impact that shifting your mindset and embracing your intuition can have on your healing journey. 

As with most hard things in life there is no instructions or rule book to guide you through the grief process. 

When your person dies everything changes and I mean everything. Not one single part of your life is left unscathed by the cataclysmic event. It is like an explosion has gone off its epicentre smack bang in your heart and the after shocks reverberating through every layer of your being. Even the places you think should be free are covered in the resulting dust and ash. Everything flawed and tarnished. 

The hole in your heart gaping and empty. 

That moment of release, giving yourself over to the icy water the momentary relief from the bitter air. Breath catching in the back of my throat as my body screams out at the cold, struggling to take in enough air as my whole body contracts in shock. Just breathe, just breathe… 

My breath steadies as I focus on taking in air and allowing myself to surrender to the water. My whole focus is on survival, the rumination about the past and worries over the future all paused. My life, my girls all suspended. All I have is this moment, and the next and the next. 

Do you believe everything happens for a reason? That we are being guided by an invisible force? That something bigger than you and me is in charge?

Some people called this big thing source, the Universe, God, the Divine, simply energy whatever you call it do you believe? 

I think all these names are interchangeable and are all talking about the same thing. 

It is that knowing, that deep feeling that you are supported and looked after even if you can’t see how.
