To Everyone Separated From a Loved One or Family at Easter

​To everyone separated from a loved one or family at Easter, 
 
I know how hard it is to step into Celebrations at any time of year if you have a loved one that has died or if you are estranged from family.
The loss is deep.
The loss is heartbreaking.
It feels overwhelming.
It feels so sad.
The pain is so deep.
You just want to run away from it but you can’t.
You take it wherever you go.
 
I know this because I’m living it.
 
So what do I do?
I write about it.
I talk about it.
I give myself the space to acknowledge the pain and hurt.
I let the tears flow until they are spent and somehow I find myself coming out from the other side of the heartbreak.
 
Then I do things that support me.
I go for walks, I meditate.
I spend time with people I love.
I do things that bring joy to my heart.
 
So I just wanted to let you know that joy and sadness can coexist.

So, Why Do I Write About My Grief?

So, why do I write about my grief?
 
I write about my grief because it helps me process how I am feeling and to find calm on the other side of all the emotions that, at times, threaten to tear me apart.
 
I have learnt, if I resist my grief it completely consumes me, while if I face my grief I can process it and allow myself to embrace the good in my life as well.
 
By talking about grief and sharing my writing I have discovered that my stories help others as well as helping me.  Over the last 8 years I have connected with people around the world who are grieving. Together we have come to recognise we are not alone.
 
These comments highlight how my willingness to talk and write about grief has helped others to recognise how important it is to share our stories:
 
“ ... Judy lives the reality that death is not the end, that love and a relationship are much stronger than death. Her heartfelt letters to her mother offer a clear insight into the power of this Love.  By sharing this journey others will gain strength and confidence to grow their relationship with their loved ones.” ... Glen Lord, President - The Grief Toolbox, CEO - International Grief Institute
 
“Judy Taylor is a beautiful example of living from the heart, not the head. Her messages spread light around the world. What a true blessing ... I love it! Very raw and honest, Very, very powerful. I think that is what the world needs ... authenticity.” ... Lynda Cheldelin Fell, Creator - Grief Diaries, Co-Founder of International Grief Institute
 
“Thank you. The tears I have being trying to hide are flowing freely after reading nearly half of your beautiful book. I look forward to finding peace in writing to my mum. Thanks … it is a big help.” ... Hayley Comley
 
“I thoroughly enjoyed reading Mum Moments. Having lost my mum unexpectedly last November, so much of what Judy wrote really hit home. I know that I will read it multiple times as I continue my own journey through the unspeakable grief that comes from suddenly losing my mom and best friend” ... Denise Fleming
 
“I LOVE this book. It has helped me tremendously and continues to help me. For anyone going through grief I would highly recommend it ... It’s a long road, and I miss (my parents) so much. Sometimes there are just no words.” ... Doris Pelletier Jarvis
 
So let us all be part of the movement to normalise grief. It is or will be a part of life for all of us. It can be overwhelming, raw and heartbreaking. If we talk and write about it we can help soften the blow for everyone who is grieving.
 
Please feel welcome to share your own grief here.

May LOVE See Us All Through . . .

14/11/2015

As I sit in the sorrow of the loss of life in Lebanon and Paris through the act of terrorism in the last few days I observe a love so deep in my heart that cannot be destroyed by these senseless acts.
 
At times this is more easily said than done.
 
Sometimes the pain inflicted by human beings on each other is so deep that it feels impossible to find my way through. The darkness is so overwhelming that I feel like sobbing. I feel it is impossible to move this pain and I allow myself to sit and write the pain. 
 
As I write I know in my heart there is a way through and all I have to do is open to Love and allow love to radiate from within me and share it with everyone that crosses my path. 
 
If each of us digs deep into our hearts in our darkest moments I believe we can find Love and share it so others can feel it too.
 
I may not have all the answers ... I do have Love to see me through.
 
May Love see us all through this experience called life.

Nicole Kidman - Shock of Father's Sudden Death

15/9/2014

0 Comments

 
As I take a moment to absorb my adventure at the Hay House Writers Workshop up here in Sydney I am touched by the photo in The Daily Telegraph of Nicole Kidman and her daughter Faith who have returned home following the sudden death of her father Antony Kidman.

The words that stand out for me are Mother, comfort, sudden and grief stricken.

When a loved one dies our world changes forever. Whether you are a mother, father, brother, sister, friend or child the journey through grief has so many twists and turns. Embracing your feelings in any given moment is the best you can do.

My Mum Moments - Journey Through Grief is me experiencing the moments following my mother's death and finding my way through.

I hope my words touch your heart and give you permission to feel on your own personal journey.
