FACING DEATH | CARING FOR DYING | THE HEART OF GRIEVING
I appreciated Michelle’s kind words and found them soothing. I also learned that it’s ok to cry. I’m Filipino and I was brought up to believe it was not ok to cry.
I knew when I signed up that I would be helped to accept the loss of my partner. I had no idea how you were going to achieve that. Today I am amazed at where I am. I have come so much further where I can look to the future with anticipation. I was really resistant to the idea of “closure” but you made it so engaging and fun. John is not gone, he is always with me.
Before working with Michelle, I was struggling with past relationships and the grief around letting them go. I did not realize that in hanging on to all the painful memory, I was trying to stay connected to people who were no long a part of my present life. As a consequence, I had no energy to put into my work and all aspects of my life were suffering. Michelle is like a wise elder sister. She helped me to celebrate my little achievements as well as the big steps. She encouraged me to believe in myself and gently and lovingly nudged me to move forward in my life, one step at a time. I am grateful that I found her when I needed her most. Her insights are full of wisdom and helped me heal my past and to let it go.
