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.
Michelle Peticolas came into my life at the exact moment it was falling apart. My mother was dying, my brother was wrecking havoc with his alcoholism, and I was having a recurrence of a medical condition attributable to stress. Michelle was constant and unwavering in her conviction that I had the tools to handle the obstacles in my path. She was able to reframe difficulties into spiritual challenges. So total is her groundedness in ecstatic tradition that she was able to lift me up beside her to soar. Michelle’s work is a gift to the world.
I really enjoyed being in Michelle’s group. Even though the other members were much older and no one had young children like me, I found common ground with everyone and I got a lot from it. I especially appreciated Michelle — her comfort, insights, connections, the opportunity she gave me to go deep and explore the spiritual side. I think she’s wonderful.
