Grief & Loss | Childless Women | Blended Families | Midlife Transitions
“In seeking after what the soul desires we become pilgrims with no home but the path the soul would have us follow.”
Childless Women
There is so much that families, cultures, other mothers, and even one’s own mind and body tell a woman, as she ages, especially if her life has not included birthing children.
Usually these messages are aimed at shaming, “othering” and silencing her. These messages can also keep a childless woman from recognizing how uniquely vital her soul mothering or social mothering role is to her family, community, and the world.
If you’re a childless woman, I would love to walk with you as you mine your precious life for the unique gifts only you can offer the world.
Midlife is an initiatory time in one’s life to begin searching for a new set of archetypes, myths and fairytales to guide one’s life as the challenges and dreams of youth are beginning to come to fruition, and hopefully beginning to become boring.
With this onset of boredom, many use midlife as playground for affairs, acts of revenge, massive purchases, replacing partners. These behaviors aren’t necessarily bad, but they will rarely fulfill the hole inside of us. We need a story that is beyond the heroine and the hero.
If you are an adult walking into, situated in, or well into midlife, I am here to walk with you into your new story that is just beginning.
Midlife Transition
Grief & Loss
For so many of us, when a heart-wrenching loss devastates our life—when someone we love is now gone, when a dream we had for our life will now never be—we may lose our sense of up and down, our knowing of who we are and what our life means anymore.
Our family and friends, who may love us dearly, often do not know how to meet us in this new place— to which we went unwillingly and from which we will likely not return the same.
If you are facing the death of a beloved one or the death of a dream you’ve carried and tended, I am here to be a witness to the grief you bear, and to walk with you, with grief as your guide.
Blended families can be the source of incredible gifts and the crucible for so much grief for the bio parents, bonus parents and all children involved.
Because of their unique constellation, blended families can catalyze complex emotions for everyone in the family system. This is especially true when additional painful dynamics like infidelity, coercive control, enmeshment, and intentional psychological splitting occurs.
If you are an adult in a blended family, whether a bio parent or stepparent, and are needing support and guidance to soulfully show up as a parent and partner amidst complex dynamics, I am here.
