I've been feeling those feelings this week. I live on a boat and have spent the last 5 months moored close to my adult son and his family. I've so loved being nearby, even though we've only seen each other every few weeks. Next week, we're moving on and I'm feeling sad that we'll be further away, despite still being close enough to meet up. I read this week when we feel emotional discomfort, rather than addressing the 'symptoms' of what we feel, address our wounds. This makes so much sense to me as I know it's the wounds within me that hold the pain of leaving and being left. If I focus on healing my wounds and remind myself I don't have to be with someone and earn their love, love and connection are with me even when I'm alone 💞
Thank you so much for leaving this comment, Karen. 💕 I can imagine there are SO many emotions that come up with the prospect of moving further away from your son and his family. It is brave work to sit with those emotions and get curious about what lies underneath them. I honour you for that. 🙏 It is never easy to be physically distant from loved ones, but the love and presence goes with you always. May you feel that in your heart wherever your next adventure takes you. ✨
