Throughout the years, many of us experience, grief and loss. Mine began with losing both of my parents and my sister , then after 30 year marriage, I got divorced. It was difficult on me and my children. It has been four years, I thought I was doing great, and I was in certain areas of my life, however, personally, I couldn’t move forward because I was stuck emotionally. A friend of mine introduced me to Judy. I met with her and she told me she had an eight week program which consists of reading books that she would recommend , journaling, making graphs, and meeting with her once a week. She explained the process to me in the beginning , to be honest I was skeptical in the beginning. Just as Judy told me , as I moved through the process, I would learn a lot about myself that maybe I didn’t know my entire life and that’s exactly what happened in the beginning, we started working through the grief, the cord cutting of previous relationships in various forms was instantaneous with leaving relationships behind. This process taught me valuable information about myself then things started to make sense for example, how I react to things and how I interact with people.
This process really helped me communicate certain things to certain people that I was unable to do which was holding me back. As I worked through the eight weeks with Judy and began to write things down I saw a pattern. This was also very helpful, on the last day , I told her I had completed the letter to the one person I needed to write to, I had a 28 page letter. I thought it was too lengthy to read, but she was so generous with her time and listened. I cried through most of it. She did some healing work on the table when I was done. I felt a release that she told me I would feel, but I couldn’t actually believe it when I got out to my car my new life began, every single thing I had hoped for happened ~ I regained a better relationship with my children,
I suddenly didn’t think about the pain of my marriage ending , I felt like a new person .
My relationship with my friends improved, and I met someone and I’m now in a relationship which is loving kind and patient. all the things I learned from her I take forward with me through my life. If it wasn’t for Judy, I would still be back in that horrible place thinking and rethinking over and over about what was happening in my life. I am so grateful I wish I could tell everyone to do that grief work because it works.
I will be forever grateful to Judy for helping me with this process. I can move forward now in peace.
