Absolutely incredible! Thank you both for this wisdom! I have tea with Death regularly and my relationship with her is not necessarily an easy one. Just as you've written here, I want to be with her in all her fullness, which means not rushing into whatever begins after the death, but pausing to be with the "black mourning" too. And I can't believe the timing of this! Just yesterday I put out a post with a ritual for honoring endings. Definite synchronicity there! 💖
Thank you Jenna 💜🥰 that is some beautiful synchronicity. Honoring endings is sooo important to be able to move into the next chapter with grace and gratitude.
Oh! Erica, I also loved that you called attention to "that look" people sometimes give when we talk about our trauma and how much we'd appreciate the recognition of how much we've transformed instead. I remember during a time of great healing in my life that someone actually said to me that I'd become fragile. Somehow they mistook my new boundaries for fragility. It was so surprising to me because, to me, all I could see was how far I'd come in the healing and that if I'd been fragile, I wouldn't have survived at all. Anyway, thank you so much for naming this, my friend!
So glad you resonated with this. I really love the ritual you just posted and I am going to do that soon. Yes, that look, then they tilt their head just so, to the side, furrow their brow, and say those words. It’s insulting to us, who have worked really hard to be in a good place and yet still be vulnerable. And what can you say back? I guess it depends on if it’s worth it. I will often come back with a redirection of - I have come a long way from that time. I am ok.
There is something about having a cup of tea with Death... I too have done this. Sitting at a table, drinking a warm brew and having a conversation. It takes away the projections and fears thereof and allows for a real honest meeting.
Thank you for sharing this and I want to add I 100% am with you when you share something vulnerable you are doing it to connect and not for pity. The pity is awful and no one should ever look at a place of pity because well they aren’t immune from anything happening either. This was very powerful about the Death card.

I love that explanation. Spot on.
So, so, so true 💜
Thank you for calling me into this.💜 It brought even more healing along this journey. Can't wait to do it again. 🥰
I don’t think I could have done this without you. Our continuing conversations and mutual support have been amazing.
