"It's reassuring because when people die, all that's happened is a body has gone. But the spirit lives forever and they're giving so many signs. In fact, I really feel sorry for spirits where they're throwing all these signs at their loved ones and the loved ones are ignoring them."   Tessa Stowe

Joanne Williams talks about guilt, her experiences working in long term care homes, statistics on the current suicide rate with caregivers, Covid-19 and the economy. 

In this episode of the podcast, we're talking about how guilt can lead to depression and the distinction between grief and depression. Joanne shares her experiences working in long term care homes helping people transition and the guilt family members face around death. We touch on the differences of elderly care in other parts of the world and the alarming suicide rate within the caregiving communities in America because they are understaffed, stressed and overworked.

"When I saw this statistic and I think it was from an Alzheimer's organization, that 80 percent, I believe it was of the caregivers succumb to an illness before the person they were caring for died. So, there is a complete strain on that caregiver. 

And the other statistic that really concerns me is that now, along with 18 to 24 year old's, but unpaid caregivers now the suicide rate has doubled. I think people are just getting so overwhelmed."   Joanne Williams

Kathy writes a book trilogy about the loss of her two sons, losing nine relatives in nine years and what that has taught her about family values.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about writing as a way of easing the pain after losing several loved ones and constructive yet adventurous ways of healing after loss. Kathy shares her method of grief relief, finding solace in nature and how it has changed her life for the better.

"I call it the Soul Train. The Soul Train roared into town. My dad used to drive trains when I grew up. And they came right through our town. And he always told us if we went around the gate when the train was coming, we were going to be killed. So, I always equated those trains coming to death. So, when all these people started dying, I kept saying, you know, the Soul Train is coming and just taking all these people."   Kathy D. Wagner

Wendy Rose Williams talks about how her near death experience changed her life and that grief can be carried from one lifetime to another. The methods she shares are simple and wise and we learn how we can heal our grief in this life and previous lives.

In this episode of the podcast, we're talking about how a near death experience can bring one the awareness of that our souls are eternal. We can choose to incarnate many times, many places and many types of body forms. Wendy walks us through how past grief can show up as depression, anxiety and pain and she helps people release energy that no longer serves them.

"If the person is just, you know, really being triggered, we often find that there's this deeper pattern that they hadn't known about. And we can heal it by visiting, by going back to what's called the lifetime of origin. When they first started to really feel that grief, that loneliness, the anger, that rage, you know, whatever the emotion might be, it's wonderful to get back to that source. When did it first happened and why?"      Wendy Rose Williams
