The Body, Brain & Soul Podcast

Good-Bye Nanny - Celebrating Life, Grieving and Learning with our children

Sarah McErlean Season 1 Episode 9

In this very special Mother's Day episode of the Mama Brain Podcast, I share with you the celebration of Nanny.

This past week, we unexpectedly lost Hayden's beloved Nanny which offered me the ability to reflect on how I wanted to show up in the space of grief for myself, as a Mama, and for my daughter.

I learned that I wanted to be present in my experience and teach Hayden to embrace grief, in a loving, supported and safe way, so that rather than fearing it, we're all able to honour the relationship we shared with this special person in our life.

Grief is also about reflecting and learning from the person we've lost and how we choose to embody that wisdom as we move forward in our own lives.

I learned so much this past week and felt that knowing Nanny and celebrating her life offered me a new perspective and an ability to become more expansive as a Mama.

I appreciate you for sharing this journey with me.  

Happy Mother's Day!
