Holding Space: A Reiki Master on Seasonal Grief, Compassion, and Saying Goodbye
Send us a text
The air turns softer, the days grow shorter, and suddenly the heart remembers. As the season shifts, we open our circle with an intention poem and step into a deeply human story: saying goodbye to our 15-year-old pup, Gizmo, and facing the tangle of grief, love, and second-guessing. From the vet’s office to the quiet ride home, we talk about the unmistakable moments of peace—a sudden spark in his eyes, a kiss after years, and the felt presence of helpers in the room—that helped us trust the timing and honor his comfort with compassion.
We move from personal loss into practical support. Drawing on two decades as a Reiki Master and countless mediumship sessions, I share what Spirit repeats again and again: our loved ones, human and animal, don’t carry resentment about choices made to end suffering; they describe release, warmth, and a freedom beyond our language. From there, we offer five gentle practices to stabilize the nervous system and soften the ache: breath and grounding, letting emotions move through, creating a simple ritual to connect with Spirit, practicing real self-compassion without timelines, and allowing rest so natural movement can return. Along the way, we hold big questions from our kids with honesty and tenderness—because not knowing everything doesn’t mean we’re alone.
This conversation blends story, spirituality, and trauma-informed care to meet grief where it lives: in the body, in memory, and in the routines we forget we’ll miss. If you’re navigating loss, seasonal sadness, or the guilt that follows hard decisions, you’ll find language, tools, and a reminder that love remains present even when forms change. Stay with us through the end for invitations to gather—retreats, newsletter updates, and Reiki sessions—plus a simple challenge we call Hug Yourself October. If this resonates, subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help this circle reach more hearts. What practice will you try today to let love keep moving?
