Full Moon Greetings, dear Friendsā£ļø
This is a tender moment. I find myself reflecting deeply on my mortality and my life force. Life feels incredibly fragile, and I am only one breath away from death.
Three years ago this week, under the Capricorn full moon, my brave and courageous daughter took her last breath. Her heart stopped beating, and I was left behind to live on this Earth without her.
Iām also holding close in my thoughts the young daughters of Camp Mystic who were swept away last week by the waters of the Guadalupe River in Texas, and the terrified, grieving mothers who are now living through the unimaginable loss of a daughter in a most tragic way.
In my mindās eye, I imagine my daughter Sierra greeting and guiding the Camp Mystic girls to the otherworld, holding them, easing their fear, and taking them into her care as their young souls transition from their earthly bodies. That thought brings me a measure of peace.
Iām holding those families in Texas, and my own family, close in my heart this week as we grieve and mourn the loss of our beloved daughters.
Next week, on the anniversary of Sierraās passing, I will honor her by finding joy in something we shared by exploring and celebrating my own life force through a little thrill-seeking. Weāll visit Cedar Point, our famed amusement park, to ride roller coasters. Sierra was my fearless roller coaster buddy, always ready to take on the biggest, fastest, and scariest rides.
This year, instead of riding with her, Iāll be joined by Sierraās uncles and cousins, my brother and nephews. Weāll bring a light-hearted and joyful spirit to a day that marks an immeasurable loss, celebrating her memory by doing something she loved.
May peace wrap gently around the hearts of all who grieve.
May you feel the presence of your beloveds in quiet moments, in sudden beauty, in the breath between tears.
May you be held by memory, strengthened by love, and softened by grace.
And when the waves of sorrow rise, may you find your way to shoreāagain and againāwith tenderness, courage, and care.
You are not alone. You are deeply loved.
With care,
Jennifer š«šš«
Two-Minute Mindfulness Prompt: In Memory š¤
Begin by closing your eyes or softening your gaze.
Take a deep breath in through your noseā¦ and a slow breath out through your mouth.
Feel the weight of your body supported by the earth beneath you.
Bring your attention to your heart space.
Notice the sensations thereāthe warmth, the ache, the aliveness.
Now, gently invite the memory of your loved one into your awareness.
Picture their face, their smile, the sound of their voice.
Let one cherished moment ariseāa laugh, a look, a quiet presence.
As you breathe in, allow yourself to receive that memory.
As you breathe out, send them loveāwherever they may be.
Stay with this connection for a few breaths.
No need to force or fixājust be with what arises, held in love and presence.
When youāre ready, take one more deep breath.
Gently bring your awareness back to the space around you.
Open your eyes, carrying the memory with you into the day.

Full moon affirmations: Under this Capricorn Full Moon, I honor the strength it takes to grieve and to keep living. My sorrow is sacred, and I move forward rooted in love. I give myself permission to feel joy, even in the midst of grief. In remembering what my loved one cherished, I reconnect with my own life force. I trust my beloved is near, guiding me in unseen ways. I am not aloneāI am held by love beyond this world.
