A week ago, at the Awaken Your Highest Self event, Danny Morel spoke about healing the mothering wound – the ache so many of us carry from not receiving the love, support, or nurturing we needed growing up.
During the second breathwork session, I met my Mum, who passed away 18 years ago. In that moment, I felt her presence, her love, her regrets… and something shifted deep within me. A softening. A release.
Fast forward to today – I’m in Oxford, looking after my Bhua (my aunt), resting in the conservatory, sipping chai, watching the sun dance across the garden. And it hit me – this time I’m spending with her is what it might have been like if my Mum were still here. Quiet, caring, simple moments filled with presence.
This isn’t just caregiving. This is healing. This is re-mothering. This is honouring my inner child by offering her the tenderness she’s always longed for.
Life has a beautiful way of guiding us to exactly what we need – even if it arrives in a different form than we expected.
