I have experienced the death of many loved ones. Through these experiences I felt alone, confused and disconnected from what was happening. There was a distinct lack of communication, respect and understanding of the journey. In 2021 my mother was dying of breast cancer. My sister and I supported her through this journey but we often felt disempowered, unsupported and ill equipped. The ‘professionals’ would often dismiss our need to be there and took over. I saw my mum struggle. Feeling afraid, sad and disconnected. As a yoga and meditation teacher we shared many tender and honest conversations about the journey, how she felt and what she wanted to share about her life. I lead her in many meditations which was a gift for both of us. I want all people sharing this journey to feel connected, supported and loved. I do my small part by offering meditations, movement and coaching.
