MORNING SESSIONS #130 June 24, 2026 / Posted June 27
CAROL: Yesterday I accompanied my son to see his father, who is not well. In fact, really not well. It was a really interesting dynamic because I have not been face-to-face with my ex for quite some time by choice. And of course, we have two children from this marriage, and the kids are now grown and full-fledged adults. Yet it seems like the fallout from that time frame continues to oftentimes override or at least influence our current-day reality. Not often, but it does rear its ugly head from time to time.
So when my son asked me to accompany him, I immediately said, of course, I will. I felt like this was going to be a tough visit for more than a few reasons. And so off we went, and it was a beautiful drive, I have to say, through the Virginia countryside. My internal ask of the guides and of myself was. What is mine to do, what is my role? I recognized it was simply to hold sacred space and to support my son.
So when we arrived, and all through the visit, I have to say, I did exactly that. I did find that there were times when I wanted to step in and be more, I’m going to say conversational, just to bring awareness to the present moment in terms of whether it be a health condition or how my ex-husband was experiencing his health issue.
We both, my son and I, got through the experience. We left, I believe, with an understanding of life and how life is going to proceed from here on out, and how best to hold sacred space as this person transitions from this world into the upper worlds.
At the same time, I came home, and as much as I felt like I had done a service of sorts and supported his life partner, who is his caretaker, I woke up this morning feeling like I had really given so much of my power away to someone who didn’t understand, didn’t, how do you say? The best I can say on this is it was a waste of my life force to put forth a sense of injustice or ill will toward another human being needlessly.
That act of being unhappy because of my perception of life in a certain way did not only not serve me, but also did not serve my kids or anyone else around me. And when you see someone in such a compromised position after being such a force in life, it’s pretty humbling.
And I have to say that I felt absolutely no animosity whatsoever, nor did I feel like I have any unfinished business. But I do have a sense of incredible gratitude for Spirit gifting me with this soul in my life, both early on and as I went through life to learn.
I feel like, because of such an adversarial relationship, a difficult relationship, that I used to escape, early in life, a very challenging situation, that not only did the relationship serve its purpose, but all of the various qualities that I worked through—learning that I worked through—would never have happened without that. I feel like I’m stronger today because of the adversity. Hopefully, the people around me who saw my behavior. and how I grew, benefited in some way as well. I’m also, on some level, remorseful that I wasted so much time on such challenging dynamics, rather than just getting on with life.
So I want to register that one of my very primary relationships early in my life, I feel, has come to a very gentle and profound close. I feel deep inner peace, and I am so very grateful.
My humble advice to anyone who might have listened to or read this post: Be courageous and stand in your power. Unconditional Love and Acceptance are great ways to liberate your Spirit.
