In my death work, I find it helpful to my own processing to have small rituals and reminders of my beloved clients who have died. Today, I’m watching the sun in the trees and listening to Ry Cooder.
Death workers, do you have any self care practices for when a client dies?

Join me at .wellness on Sunday July 17th 10am-12pm for a shamanic reiki workshop.
It will be a time to reconnect, recenter, and replenish as we journey to encounter guides and tools to fortify ourselves and communities.

My first thought on Tuesday was “I won’t have enough candles.”
It’s true; I don’t have twenty one candles.
I have no way to speak to this.
I have to speak to this.
Nineteen babies.
Two guardians.
Reminding myself.
Reminding us all.
stay tender
stay present
stay open
Adrift by Mark Nepo
“Everything is beautiful and I am so sad.
This is how the heart makes a duet of wonder and grief. The light spraying through the lace of the fern is as delicate as the fibers of memory forming their web around the knot in my throat.
The breeze makes the birds move from branch to branch as this ache makes me look for those I’ve lost in the next room, in the next song, in the laugh of the next stranger.
In the very center, under it all, what we have that no one can take away and all that we’ve lost face each other.
It is there that I’m adrift, feeling punctured by a holiness that exists inside everything.
I am so sad and everything is beautiful.”
Shared with me by the beloved of a dear client.

Even though my mom didn’t live to see me in the role of “mom”… she made me a mother.
Every nurturer and guardian and caretaker made me a mother.
Every failed visit to the fertility specialist made me a mother.
The siblings we fostered made me a mother.
The baby we spent a week in the NICU with only to send him home with a bio grandmother, made me a mother.
Every “almost” placement and heartbreaking phone call made me a mother.
Every day and step forward through grief and love made me a mother.
I was a mother long before my child came to us and I am grateful for him and every other person and experience who made me ready to claim him.
Motherhood does not look just one way.
