Death is a subject close to my heart. Being a psychopomp, a fancy Greek word meaning one who guides souls, death is ever present as a part of my role. A psychopomp travels energetically using shamanic skills to connect with those who are in the process of departing through the transition we call death. I help people and animals to pass over and also guide souls who are stuck, such as we might call hauntings, supporting them to move towards the light, enabling them to cross into the realms of spirit.
I have found that the role of the psychopomp is all about those who are left behind, those sitting on the sidelines whilst a loved one is going through the process we call death. Many times, I am present to support them, to help them let go, to be reassured, to move through their grief.
Everyone is touched by death, sooner or later, we all lose someone we love. And it’s hard. It’s even harder that we belong to a culture that is not comfortable talking about death. We are all concerned, not only with the grief of loss, but our own ageing and eventual demise. How do we understand it, how to we prepare for it? How do we talk to our children about it? The truth is, so many don’t really know how or what to say and there are such discrepancies about what happens next.
Personally, I feel very sure about what happens next, having had a lot of evidence from a young age to support my understanding, but this is the kind of evidence that cannot easily be shared.
Recently, I’ve been working on a project with my niece, Psychic Medium and Rune Witch, Chloe Elgar. She is someone who is very much in touch with death and embraces it along with life. We have been exploring some of the energies death brings us. That inspired me to consider running an online workshop on the subject of death because I really see there’s a need for us all to explore this together. But then I thought, who will come to that? And I let the idea fall away. Then, a conversation led me to reconsider. I was talking to a mother who was watching her twelve year old son struggling with the idea of death, and just as this was unfolding for him, his beloved one year old cat was hit and killed by a car outside his house. He was devastated. He is really getting an initiation into death from the energies on his path, it seems. As we talked, I realised we do need to have workshops on death. We do need to know how to help children manage the emotions and the ideas it brings, and not just children, we are just as much in need as adults.
And from there, my next online workshop project was born. Expect a few posts on this subject as I plan and develop the content of this new and, I feel, vital energy workshop. As always, I will be calling in light beings from the inner planes, channelling their wisdom and supporting a deep state of awareness for participants to receive deep transformation in the understanding and embracing of the wisdom death offers us.
Thank you looking forward to your posts 🙏🙏💜💜 My mom just passed recently due to COVID and I see myself and my children struggling to understand the concept of death,there was so much death in the second wave ….There is so much fear and confusion in them and with in me as well I guess because I find it difficult to find the words to soothe them…..

Hello Sarita, first of all, thank you so much for being here and taking the time to get in touch. I am so sorry to hear of the huge loss that your mother’s passing has brought to you and your family. My deepest blessings and condolences are with you. It is no surprise that you and the children are reeling from it, that is such a lot to cope with for you all. There is a lot of fear and confusion in the psyche of humanity at this time, it is everywhere and yet, there is also a huge opportunity for growth and transformation here as we are taken to a place where we are made to look deeper into these energies, and death is, after all, a part of life. I can sense that you are one who is looking for a way to find honesty, truth and understanding in these events, in order to help your children integrate these tremendous experiences that surround them. You are a wise and loving parent and I commend you.
