Amazing! Took me back to when my dad was dying and I wouldn't stop - I was so panic stricken about what would happen if I did. To the extent I was cleaning his hospital room multiple times a day when it was deep cleaned daily by the staff. And I'm not even a cleaner type person! (I do the bare minimum to get by!)
I'm booked in for a week long camping retreat at the end of the month so this has been really helpful to read. The intention I have been guided for it is to "allow myself to crack open". Read into that what you will...
Oh I hear you, Amber! I was SO practical and driven as Mum was dying. So busy, so competent. It's taken months to allow myself to stop, and the tears are now flowing freely.
I'm sure your trip will be amazing. Take chocolate and tissues would be my advice xxx
Oh Sue how I wish I had known that you were off to Samye Ling and I could have allayed most of your fears. I did some of my mindfulness training there and it is one of he kindest places to be.
Still working on my grieving and solitude here on Skye but well done to you for taking yet another leap into the unknown xx
Thank Ann - it is indeed such a kind and gentle place. I think a lot of my fears would have been the same wherever I went. Sending so much love to you, and hope Skye is bathing you in healing balm. Tough times, my friend. xxx

I’m so happy to hear you’ve found a way to make space for your grief. I’m so proud of you - and for showing us the way.
Love the advice, needed that!
Thanks Amber, cheering me on as ever 🥰
