Unresolved grief can become stuck in the body causing chronic aches and pain, stress, and depression.

This Grief and/or Trauma-Sensitive Series is designed to make you feel safe and supported, offering you choices while working through mindful practice. Loosing my daughter Dakota was traumatic. 

Yoga can be a great tool for trauma healing in many ways and at many levels. Trauma can affect not only the mind, but the entire body. Traumatic events and experiences can disrupt our fight or flight response. Yoga for Grief /Trauma encourages you to re-connect with your body and to tend to your nervous system. Regular practice will help to rewire the central nervous system and trigger relaxation.

I know firsthand the healing power of yoga. I can guide you to a gentle healing practice that will move the negative energy.

Grief and a traumatic event can leave you feeling paralyzed, literally. When a dastardly event, such as losing my daughter Dakota occurs, we can be left speechless. I completely lost all my words. I wanted to just scream. The pain was primal. As we received the news at about 4 am in the morning, and we were staying in a guest house, my husband asked that I don't scream. His exact words to me, before he told me the news was, and I quote "Erin, please don't scream. Dakota is dead.." 

I was dazed. Shocked. I had been asked not to scream. I was totally speechless. I stood there in the bedroom for what seemed like an eternity, and then I remember saying. "Well Thank you, God, for the years that we had her." That was all I could think of. My husband asked if I wanted to go for a walk with him, I declined. I wanted to be alone in my excruciating pain.

Any grieving mom that has lost a child can understand the pain I am sure and relate. I don't believe that there is anyone who suffers more than a grieving mom. I have heard that grief does not have any hierarchy, but I would totally disagree. I have lost my mother, my father, both when I was young. A dear sister has passed away. All of these caused me such sadness and deep grief. None of these have compared to the depth of pain that I felt and that I live with on a daily basis of losing my beautiful daughter Dakota.  There is a statute  “Melancolie” that resides along the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, by Romanian artist Albert Gyorgy. This statue is of a person, pretty much their whole body missing, the form is seated on a bench, and the head is hanging down. This absolutely depicts the depth of grief that many mothers and fathers live with on a daily basis. 

Grief is transformative. Once you have been hit by the shock of grief, your life will never be the same.
