This incredibly touching call is about forgiveness and letting go of guilt. Today\u2019s caller, Lynn, feels she was partially responsible for her son\u2019s death and wants to be free of the guilt so she can mourn his passing. Lynn is very brave to be vulnerable and share her story. In this session, we work through a tough topic, especially for mothers. Be prepared.

When something happens, we can blame ourselves so much that we become the judge and the jury that crucifies us. We can get stuck in a thick soup of guilt.

And, when we have a big trauma, like the passing of someone, we can think that we\u2019re only upset about that event especially when it is something big like losing a child. However, most traumas, massive expectation hangovers, or losses trigger past things that made us feel in similar ways. We can get stuck in a loop that we can\u2019t get out of in terms of the guilt cycle. It\u2019s difficult to process grief when you are stuck in guilt.

Grief is hard and when we add guilt to it, it can feel unsurmountable. When you lose someone, especially a child, I don\u2019t know that the pain ever goes away. However, going through the grief process helps to heal it enough for you to be able to move forward.
