You're Stronger Than You Think--Heal Your Heart Retreat (early bird by 9/4)

We celebrated my husband's birthday Saturday over at my mom's in Illinois. On our way back home on Sunday, he was feeling forlorn because his party was over. I said it was common to have a natural sort of let down or grief after celebrations and feeling loved and connected and then not so much...

Plus, we saw some family members on Friday we hadn't seen in over 4 years. One of them was getting older and looked frail and mentioned "being on his way out." Plus, Steve has a father figure who is dying, and my dad has esophageal cancer. Both things have been hard to accept.

In addition, we met them at this Chinese restaurant (unbeknownst to me before we got there), which was the very last place my daughter, Maddie, and I ate on 10/12/18 before she transitioned 2 weeks later.

The evening we went there, we had a girls' outing to Spoon River Drive for the weekend (Maddie's favorite annual event with craft fairs and food, etc.). We stopped off at this place, and I carried Maddie inside because she was on oxygen and not feeling well. She had cystic fibrosis. She was hunched over while eating because she was struggling so much to breathe. She passed a couple of weeks later, and we ended up taking her to the ER on Sunday. She never left the hotel room because she wasn't up to it. So going to this place had me relive one of the most traumatic times in my life.

I actually did fine, and it helped me to get closure and know that I'm stronger than I think. Watching people we love get old and die isn't easy, is it? Endings, death and abandonment are not for the faint of heart. As the saying goes, "Getting old isn't for the weak."

I'm teaching my semi-annual Online Heal Your Heart Retreat 9/11. This is a wonderful opportunity to heal from the grief of being alive. It's not just loss of loved ones and the obvious griefs, but it's also the grief of change like in the last 3.5 years that this retreat would help with you.

By healing grief, you become a more compassionate leader and create healthy connections with others. This translates into you having more impact and influence as an intuitive woman leader.
