Life after: Losing a parent
Losing a parent is difficult for us at any age. Even as adults, we feel uneasy and alone, often becoming suddenly aware of a connection we may not have appreciated. It was so constant, we were barely aware.
“When we loose a parent as a child, the severing of that connection is profound.”
Our awareness that we cannot survive without them is instinctive … and the overwhelm is enormous – even when there is another parent and other family around us. The body stores the trauma. We experience belly aches, feel vigilantly aware of the remaining parents’ every move, we struggle with separation. That is because neural pathways are built from the fight or flight part of our brain and our bodies store the trauma so we will never forget. The younger we are when it happens, the more generalized our sense of insecurity. A particular place is not safe… getting sick is dangerous …. When we are very young, it can make us feel like life itself is not safe, and we lockdown, and power through.

needed to learn to be still. I found folding, particularly folding kusudama, the perfect way to meditate and be still. When I say I am folding… my family knows that my head is in the clouds and all is well. Kusudama are ancient Japanese medicine balls. I put lavender in mine to instill calm and well being in the beholder.
