Bring you own tissues!!!\xa0 \xa0 \nThis interview took place on July 11, a short time before artist/activist/photographer, Savannah Spirit\u2019s 44th birthday which is a year to the date of her mother\u2019s unexpected death at age 73. In this session, Savannah generously and openly articulates the experience she went through and the subsequent personal growth she, as well as her father and brother, have developed individually and as a family, going forward. A turning point for her is a meeting a friend takes her to in January of this past year. I think this episode will be a true gift to anyone who has or is currently experiencing grief or has a mission to grow as a human. Scroll down to read the notes from Savannah in preparing herself for this session.\n\nMORE ABOUT SAVANNAH and her work: https://savannahspirit.photography/\nFOLLOW on Instagram- @savannahspirit.artist \nSavannah's Notes:\xa0\n- My mom was my first champion cheerleader as an artist and photographer, always supportive of my projects and vision, when I lost her, I felt I lost my biggest supporter. I then have realized I have to be own cheerleader and champion now. -Turning point came to a head early January just after the New Year. A friend took me to an AA meeting (although I'm not an alcoholic my father is and it shed light.) I bawled my eyes out at that meeting because of the stories I heard, it inspired me to let go of my anger from my mom's death so I did -on a person who felt deserved it.... -I literally googled, "When your mother dies on your birthday..." and the Reddit post which came up. This particular entry was amazing because it was as if my mother was talking to me directly about why she died the day I was born... -My father's and my relationship seemed so solid but after mom died it was revealed that we had to work on things. Mom was always the buffer... the journey of repairing things with my dad has been ongoing and very difficult. Her death has also revealed things that I had to change (she enabled.) Even though her death has been horrible and terrible in every way, realizations had to happen and changes I had to make were necessary. -Been revisiting Elton John since I saw the film "Rocketman"- I was listening to the song the other day and like a flood grief struck me because I thought the lyrics were so poignant. They remind me of what my dad is going through. Not tethered to reality nor to earth because of losing mom.\n "I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife\n It's lonely out in space\n On such a timeless flight\n And I think it's gonna be a long long time\n Till touch down brings me round again to find\n I'm not the man they think I am at home\n Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man\n Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone" -My very close friends have become my family.
