Attempted to post this yesterday multiple times, but Instagram kept glitching on me. I almost didn’t post at all, but something said I still should.
Yesterday was the 7 year anniversary of losing Amanda. For the first time since she passed, I truly feel at peace. She’s no longer suffering in her physical body. And I know her soul lives on and I feel so connected to her in that way.
wow, this was one of the hardest chapters of my life, it broke me wide open in regards to my spirituality. It led me to Reiki and Yoga teacher Training and learning that I could talk to Amanda anytime I want to. And I continue to do so to this day. She’s still as loud, feisty and caring as ever 😅💕
If you can relate at all, I’m so sorry. But please know I see you and understand the pain of losing a loved one to this terrible disease.
Lastly, I wrote about my story as a way to raise awareness and work through my grief. I published ‘Saving My Sister: How I Created Meaning from Addiction and Loss’ in 2022. It’s available on Amazon or wherever books are sold online.
And to anyone who watched the full video, thank you. I appreciate your support 💟
