From Sundy Gilchrist
I used to be ……
A child
A daughter
A mother and housewife
A different kind of sister
In a young body
A single woman
Aggressive and forceful
A public health specialist
A hockey player
A farmer
Able to run a marathon….
The list is endless of the things I used to be, and have had to let go of….
Did I ever consider the loss of each thing as the role ended …for whatever reason it did?
No, not so much ….
Did I ever allow myself to be ok mourning the loss and change?
I just wasn’t aware …
And not knowing how to let go well, grieve well, and see some endings as rites of passage as well as practice for the big losses in my life, was a painful steep learning curve as those big losses came along.
The Foundation Course is part of The Sitting with Death and Choosing Life Programme and is starting again in February with me Sundy, Sara and Janie facilitating, and the dates of the courses can be found on this link:
https://sittingwithdeathandchoosinglife.com/swd-foundation-course-web/
It’s 8 weeks of a gentle immersion into loss, feelings, grief and the life transformation that occurs through change, bereavement and endings, and how to embrace it.
It’s a journey into the tender exploration of expansion into life, rather than a desperate experience full of pain and the risk of closing down to life, that loss, change and grief can bring.
Held on line and in small groups of just 8 participants, this course is crafted in such a way to allow for some, or lots, of inner inquiry and facilitated by the facilitators, rather than being taught, so much.
Dive deep, or shallow surf, it’s up to you.
Grief has a way of transforming our lives and once we know our own ropes and ways through it, it does feel easier …..
The Foundation Course is a great way to explore the potential of being a ‘good griever’, whether you are at the start of this enquiry into grief , or have already gathered some tools and want a few more tools.
Explore this link:https://sittingwithdeathandchoosinglife.com/swd-foundation-course-web/ to gather more info, see when the courses start and learn about the facilitators and their stories, too.
Drop any one of us a line on our email if you’re interested, and we’ll get back to you straightaway.
Looking forward to meeting you.
