We all Grieve differently, yet we all feel it deeply.  Melanie created a spiritual bereavement group/circle after her father passed away in January 2020, (and from some great advice from her spiritual advisor/friend).  Melanie felt she needed more support in dealing with the sadness that comes and the trauma after being a caregiver and the circle was born.   

The intention of this circle is to support each other in processing the grief.  We have a Fabebook page where we post pictures and stories for inspirational purposes or to help a fellow member out.  We have zoom meetings, currently one Wednesday per month (for 2020) while we are all staying safe from the pandemic.  This also allows for those members who are in other states or countries to join us.  

The Bereavement group has expanded into an overall grief and trauma group.  On our Facebook page, Melanie's Healing Space, we have over 100 people who joined in to offer to support each other! From cancer survivors and warriors to healers and psychics, it is a place where it is always safe and comforting to know you are never alone.  Someone is always there to lend an ear and hand, even if for now, its virtual!

During the circles, we share, laugh, cry and tell stories.  It is very therapeutic.  Reiki and sound are offered either before or after the meeting to all.  We ask any other energy healers to join in if they so wish.  

Melanie has many people and  pets on the other side as well and they send messages. Like that Cardinal in your yard, Ravens, Quarters or pennies from heaven, etc.  

**Melanie is not a licensed counselor or social worker and only offeres support.  Any mental illnesses are requested to seek medical help from a healhcare professional.

Fluffy (my dog from childhood) appeared  in the clouds, you really can't make this up!

Many times our loved ones will send feathers, coins, certain rocks, as a sign they're near.  They also can easily play with electronics! Be aware of who you're thinking of and what you see. 

We've all been there (and if you haven't count your blessings), our loved one (mom, dad, grandmother, grandfather, children, dog, cat, horse, etc) has passed away.  Whether it was a long battle with disease or a sudden impact, we are naturally devastated.  There's a huge void in our life.  Or we are struggling with an illness that makes us feel alone or inadequate, like we've done something wrong to deserve this (not true bye the way). 

There's the usual, feeling guilty, could we have done something else to help, did we do enough? Shoulda, coulda, woulda....Then there's the who can I blame? Why would god do this? How did I miss the signs? 

Grief can come to us for many reasons. We must learn new ways of thinking about what we have been through and sit with the love left behind and the love we still have to give!

 Once we stop blaming ourselves or others, we can make room to see the signs from them! There are so many we don't even realize are signs.  When we are deep in grief we can't even see the road ahead of us, let alone what spirits are tellling us or showing us or making us feel.  They do all those things and more. We just have to look with our hearts.
