Blog 5- Processing grief and PTSD with the angels

Last summer was so stressful. I was grieving my mom, caring for my brother and working an extra job on top of my own business. A big part of the stress was that my brother was having a manic episode. This caused family challenges as well as concerns for his safety and well being. I was doing the best I could to help him, making sure he went to therapy, picking up his meds and taking him to doctor appointments. He chose not to take his medication for bi-polar disorder which is a common issue with this condition. 

After my mom passed, I took over Dylan's care, as I promised, and this included working for the dept of rehab so I could pay his rent and bills. Alongside my brother's care, I was also mothering 2 teenagers and running my own business as an Angel Coach and author, which is my passion. Processing the PTSD from my moms illness and death while caring for my brother who had a brain injury and was diagnosed bi-polar was emotionally exhausting. 

I'm sure I would have cracked more than once without the angel practices from my book, Receiving from Your Angels: Four Practices to Heal your Pain with Angel Love and my awesome team of healers that put me back together. Countless times I leaned into the Angels of Stress Relief to help me, not only get through the day, but to be present to all the love and joy that was all around me as well. 

My brother was in a nearly fatal car accident in 2018, which left him with a traumatic brain injury and he was no longer able to drive. He craved freedom and frequently asked me to buy him an electric bike. I wanted him to be happy and to experience some independence, so I finally got him a very nice Cannondale electric bike. He loved it. He rode it every day and even carried it up 2 flights of stairs to his apartment above the dry cleaners to keep it safe. He was wearing his helmet and enjoying himself and his freedom.  

Then tragedy struck. In mid August, just 16 days after I bought him the bike, Dylan was killed on the highway by a truck. It's devastating to write about and even more devastating to process. But process, I must. The sadness, the PTSD, the anger, the loss, the guilt. I know in my heart no one blames me for his death, including him, but it's painful to think that the bike I bought him for freedom, ending in his untimely death. 

Grieving my mom and my brother has tested the limits of what I felt I could handle while simultaneously making me grateful for every day and all the blessings I do have. I thank God and the angels for my career as an Angel Coach and Author. It's a daily gift to live my soul’s mission. It gives me peace and purpose to help others who may be struggling with physical or emotional pain to understand the purpose in their pain by connecting with the angels.
