Where the Veil Grows Thin

On November 26th, if you listened to that episode, you met Gabriel. Today, you will get an inside-behind-the-scenes glimpse into his mom, (a 26 year old mother of 3 boys) after she made one of the hardest decisions of her life and had the youngest of them cremated after his death. And just a couple of other details about that time in her life that were not included in Gabriels Wings.....

I have found very little in my life that has taught me as much or taught me as well what it is I believe than sitting with those who are dying. What we believe in, where we hold our faith, how we manifest surviving loss, are all, in my opinion,  layers of how we grow and expand our humanness.

This story is sweet and tender. It is beautiful in its sadness. It is a memory I will carry forever. With grateful grace and humility.

This is the final piece to the story I started 3 weeks ago. It wraps all those pieces together around what happened to keep me home when we had a 3 week road trip all planned out and how the world brings what we need and gives us what we didn't know we wanted.

I decided to slip this in as soon as I could. It interrupts the final episode of the saga about my recent  personal life but I felt it was important to try to offer these few words to those who might be grieving as we enter the next few months. The possible landmines that lie waiting don't have to catch us off guard.

After recording the episode published on Oct 29th about resiliency, I stayed in the closet and recorded todays episode. There were so many things happening bam bam bam in our lives and it just felt necessary to continue the train of thought. I am already composing next weeks episode as a sequel to this and then I promise I'll be done. We'll get back to things that are not so personal to my life.

Todays 15 minute episode looks at the desire we often have to reclaim the life we were living before some event took us sideways through the river (and then through the woods) while also opening the idea that it can sometimes be just one more way we prolong the suffering when something uninvited and unwanted falls from the sky.

In this weeks episode, I talk about the connection between pushing away those things we don't want actually making them grow. I often say in my work with those who grieve, it's in the 'againstness' to what is, to what has come,  that we suffer the most. It's a lot to ask someone who has been assaulted by loss to ever believe they can make friends with what has happened. But without that acceptance, that welcoming, the suffering will continue.

This short 7 minute episode recounts the recent moment when I realized I do not need to carry all the details of my experience of someone's story as much as I need to carry the gift their story left me with. 
I don't need to remember names, dates and places so much as needing to remember what the experience may have taught me. But in learning this, I was momentarily caught off guard by a feeling of being inadequate, a feeling of being old and a feeling of being unworthy of the honor being given when I am invited into the inner sanctum of someones death.
