Now I understand the title. And what a riveting post. Shock is what I feel reading this and maybe that's exactly what it portrays. It was unthinkable, but now it's not. I follow a guy on FB who does a 'don't panic' weather forecast. He was in the n Florida area and tracking Milton. Well...he relocated and Milton moves slightly south. But still. Unimaginable things happened on both coasts. The storm this weather maven is tracking now is a gulf tropical storm that seems like it will go due north. Forgive me all other areas, but I was so glad to see it is way east of us in that track. As I commented, we just can't take anymore here. I have been using Bach Flower Remedies...Rescue with Mimulus (known fears), Sweet Chestnut (I can't take any more). Gentian (dealing with what seem like setbacks) are part of my formula. It helps me when the vulnerability and negativity gets noticeable. Knowing this now, I will include you and yours in my prayers.

What essences would you suggest with me right now? What I think I should do is just book a session with you because I guarantee it will give me more insight than what I've been working with. You're spot on with the shock. When I dislocated my knee hopping off the hay trailer a couple summers ago I was able to recognize shock in real time. And now that you mention it, it feels an awful lot like what I'm experiencing now. I'm obsessed with how the bird migration patterns changed. I'm obsessed with the patterns in nature. I thank you for being included in your prayers. THANK YOU!

Start with Rescue Remedy. Give me a good way to reach you privately (you can send via messenger or my shellie@shellieenteen.com email and I would suggest we do a Bach Consultation on the current situation and look at the 'constitutional' remedies for your birth chart (since you find this recurrence). We can explore options.

I feel all of this Kimberly…ALL OF THIS. I’ve always loved the woods but this past year, really getting to know my place has now broken my heart with the losses of Hellene (sorry that’s the only way I will spell it). But no one in my immediate vicinity understands my grief. Everyone continues on with their shallow lives & mindless chit-chat and I just want to sit silently among those fallen giants.

We’ll get there Kimberly, one day at a time. We’ll write our way through it. 💜

I’m finding little outcroppings of people who understand the grief — and it’s HARD to talk about the grief when we still have homes and our land isn’t a new river — but it feels like it’s time to just be honest about it wherever we landed in the storm. I’m so thankful to know you here. I’m in northern Greenville. Where are you?

I’m located about 45min north of Janisse in Emanuel County GA. Between Swainsboro & Vidalia.

Thank you for telling me this. The past couple weeks I've been feeling like the energy I'm sending out wouldn't do much to ease people's nervous systems. But I've been finding medicine in honesty. And I'm so thankful for you and YOUR honesty. I love knowing that you exist in the world and you're out there doing your good work.
