It was a small little group that attended the graveside service. I was in the air looking down on everyone. I looked at the young childless mother standing with her husband’s arm around her.

He was supporting her—holding her up. She looked small, broken and empty. They both looked grief stricken.

I was fractured, and didn’t want to feel.

It was so traumatic losing my baby.

Somehow, I just disconnected and floated above everyone.

I recognized I wasn’t really in my body—it was strangely comforting to not be there in that moment.

I’ve since learned that this kind of disconnection is the soul’s way of protecting itself when the pain feels too overwhelming to stay present.

There are times in this life when you may have suffered the traumatic loss of a loved one and/or experienced a betrayal trauma that has caused your spirit to fracture.

I honestly believe this is one of the most heart wrenching and painful things a soul can live through, and it is so difficult to overcome that pain.

If this sounds familiar, here are some strategies for self-care to help you feel whole again.

1. Allow yourself the grace to grieve. There are no time limits. Memories will come up when you least expect it. It’s okay to feel deeply and process the grief, even years later.

2. Make time to take care of yourself. Enjoy a bubble bath, read a good book, take a nap and have a good cry if you feel like it. You will feel better afterwards. 

3. Share your feelings with others and let them know how they can best support you. Some days, just having a friend who understands and is a good listener is all you need to help you feel whole for a while. Other days, you may need to just go break dishes in a parking lot to let out your feelings. You definitely need a friend for that! (You can find breakables at a thrift store.)

4. Spend time in nature. Garden, hike, pick berries or just sit and listen to the birds singing. There is something very healing and grounding when you are surrounded by God’s creations.

5. Try a healing modality that makes you feel good. Clear emotions, or get a foot zone, cranial sacral, massage or light therapy. All of these will assist you in your healing.

6. Most importantly, spend time with the Lord every day. Communicate with Him. Ask Him how to heal your fractured spirit and let Him teach you what you need to know. Allow yourself to feel His love. He is the master healer and will bring peace, understanding and wholeness to your soul. 

Praying that you will feel God’s love for you as you heal and reconnect your beautiful soul.

There is a Dose of Enlightenment below to help you.

*******************************************************

Since we promised to treat you to an extra dose of light in your inbox, we include a Dose of Enlightenment for you at the end of each newsletter. We value your agency, so it’s up to you whether or not you receive it!

This Dose of Enlightenment is a frequency equation meant to clear a hidden and trapped emotion that you’ve been holding onto. 

If today's emotion is one that we have already cleared, know that we are addressing a different layer or situation this time.

*******************************************************

Today’s emotion is: fractionated spirit (disconnection of the spirit from the body caused by trauma)

How does this emotion apply to you? For best results, ponder this question and identify how fractionated spirit (disconnection of the spirit from the body caused by trauma) applies to you.

Dose of Enlightenment: 58 + 942 = E

Say it out loud with intent: "fifty-eight plus nine-forty-two equals enlightenment.”

Breathe. Let it go. Feel the shift. Allow your body to be filled with light.
