Bon Voyage End of Life Care & TLC Training

Forget the star seed nonsense, this is for everyone, we are the bridge 💚

Dear Starseed,

In order to fully live a magical life we must remain fully connected and grounded in the physical body and into the Earth. The body could be considered to be a sort of magic wand through which energy, light and force flow. The deeper and stronger the downward connection the higher we are able to reach with our consciousness into the higher dimensions of light .

Love Steve 💚🌟💚🌟🌷⭐️🌟💚🌟🌷🌟⭐️💚🌷

The current blanket ban on assisted dying in the UK is causing widespread pain and suffering. The law must change in this Parliament.

"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." - A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

A little piece of wisdom from Winnie-the-Pooh for this week's 💛

💚💚💚

WHEN YOU SAY GOODBYE TO A PARENT
You are suddenly living in a whole new world.

You are no longer ‘the child’ and regardless of how long you have officially been ‘grown up’ for, you realise you actually never were until this moment. The shock of this adjustment will shake your very core.

When you have finally said goodbye to both your parents, assuming you were lucky enough to have had two. You are an orphan on this earth and that never, ever gets easier to take no matter how old and grey you are yourself and no matter how many children of your own you have.

You see, a part of your body is physically connected to the people that made it and also a part of your soul. When they no longer live, it is as if you are missing something practical that you need – like a finger or an arm. Because really, you are. You are missing your parent and that is something far more necessary than any limb.

And yet the connection is so strong it carries on somehow, no-one knows how exactly. But they are there. In some way, shape or form they are still guiding you if you listen closely enough. You can hear the words they would choose to say to you.

You can feel the warmth of their approval, their smile when a goal is achieved, their all-consuming love filling the air around you when a baby is born they haven’t met.

If you watch your children very closely you will see that they too have a connection with your parents long after they are gone. They will say things that resonate with you because it brings so many memories of the parent you are missing. They will carry on traits, thoughts and sometimes they will even see them in their dreams.

This is not something we can explain.

Love is a very mystical and wondrous entity.

It is far better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all and grief, grief is the price of that love. The deeper the love the stronger the grief.

When you say goodbye to a parent, do not forget to connect with that little girl who still lives inside you somewhere.

Take very good care of her, for she, she will be alone and scared.

When you say goodbye to your parents, you lose an identity, a place in the world. When the people who put you on this earth are no longer here, it changes everything.

Look after yourself the way they looked after you and listen out for them when you need it the most.

They never really leave.

You can’t heal the people you love.
You can’t make choices for them.
You can’t rescue them.
You can promise that they won’t journey alone.
You can loan them your map.
But this trip is theirs...

Lynn Downing - please take note 🍷

When our last breath is taken I was sitting with a woman who was days before her death, fully conscious and aware of everything she was feeling and experiencing. She said to me, "can I share with you what this feels like?" I said yes, of course. I am always curious about the hours, days, and moments that lead to the very last br...

"But Arwen went forth from the House, and the light of her eyes was quenched, and it seemed to her people that she had become cold and grey as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Then she said farewell to Eldarion, and to her daughters, and to all whom she had loved; and she went out from the city of Minas Tirith and passed away to the land of Lórien, and dwelt there alone under the fading trees until winter came. Galadriel had passed away and Celeborn also was gone, and the land was silent.

'There at last when the mallorn-leaves were falling, but spring had not yet come, she laid herself to rest upon Cerin Amroth; and there is her green grave, until the world is changed, and all the days of her life are utterly forgotten by men that come after, and elanor and niphredil bloom no more east of the Sea."

Psychoanalysis at the movies

“You realise you are not special. You have struggled into existence and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyone’s experience. Every single one.

Philip Seymour Hoffman being Caden Cotard in the long closing scene of Synecdoche, New York, by Charlie Kaufman, 2008

“Transformation isn’t sweet or bright. It’s a dark and murky painful pushing. An unraveling of the untruths you’ve carried in your body. A practice in facing your own created demons. A complete uprooting before becoming.”

I wish you peace. One thing I never do is interfere with the beliefs of another human being when they are dying. I don't pass judgment, I don't tell them what to think or how to feel, and I definitely do not push my thoughts or beliefs on to them.When someone is dying, whether they have months, weeks, or days left, I...

Please, please let them go with love 🙏

When I am dying. When I am dying, I don’t want the last sounds I hear to be machines beeping and alarms going off telling me what I already know, which is that my body is shutting down and I am dying. I don’t want machines keeping me alive.I don’t want machines feeding me.I don’t want to feel the suffocation...

😆

Gah! I'm just trying to make dinner, dang it!

💕💕💕

When someone dies, the love stays.
Forever.
You love them and you always will.

Darken your room, shut the door, empty your mind. Yet you are still in great company – the Numen and your Genius with all their media, your host of elementals and ghosts of your dead loves — are there! They need no light by which to see, no words to speak, no motive to enact except through your own purely formed desire.”

- Austin Osman Spare

May you recognize in your life the presence,
power, and light of your soul.

May you realize that you are never alone,
that your soul in its brightness and belonging
connects you intimately with the rhythm of
the universe.

May you have respect for your individuality
and difference.

May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique,
that you have a special destiny here,
that behind the façade of your life,
there is something beautiful and eternal happening.

- John O'Donohue
