Grief Processing and Healing: Letting Go to Move Forward


As an intuitive healer and medium, I’ve had the profound honor of guiding people through one of life’s most challenging experiences—grief. Grief processing and healing isn’t limited to the loss of a loved one; it can manifest in various forms, from the end of a relationship or career to significant life changes that shift our very sense of identity. No matter the source, grief profoundly impacts our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Why Letting Go is Essential to Moving Forward

One key insight I’ve gained through my own journey and my work with clients is that our loved ones on the other side want to see us flourish. They don’t wish for us to remain in the shadows of grief. They want us to honor their memory by living fully. This perspective is a guiding light, reminding us that we don’t have to carry the weight of loss forever.


Exploring the Healing Process Through Energy Work and Spiritual Connection

Letting go is no small feat; it’s a gradual and intentional process. But through energy healing, cord-cutting, dreamwork, and a willingness to release, we can find a pathway to healing and to honoring those we’ve lost. Here are some key steps and insights that may support you on your journey through grief:


1. Recognizing the Depth and Variety of Grief

Grief is often tied to the loss of a person, but it can also stem from job loss, divorce, or any change that disrupts our sense of identity. Such events leave a mark on our energy field, creating attachments to the past that can weigh us down. Recognizing that these moments of grief are natural yet complex is the first step toward healing. Accepting the spectrum of grief allows us to address it more wholly.

2. Cutting Energetic Cords and Restoring Energetic DNA

In energy healing, I work with clients to cut these “energetic cords” that bind us to past experiences and emotions. These cords, often created through deep bonds and experiences, can keep us feeling connected to the past in a way that hinders our ability to move forward. By releasing these attachments and calling upon new energetic patterns, or "DNA restoration," we open up space for guidance from our loved ones rather than feeling tied to their absence.


3. Listening to the Messages in Your Dreams

Dreams are a significant channel for receiving messages from our deceased loved ones. Often, they choose this realm to communicate because it's one of the few spaces where our logical mind steps aside, allowing us to truly receive. Pay attention to recurring dreams, symbols, or feelings; these often carry the wisdom, love, or reassurance that you’re seeking.


4. Releasing Guilt and the Fear of Moving On

Many people feel an intense sense of guilt when they think about moving on from grief. They fear that moving forward might mean forgetting or dishonoring the loved one they’ve lost. However, our loved ones want us to live joyfully and without guilt, fulfilling our purpose. Understanding this can be incredibly freeing, as it shifts our grief from a place of guilt to one of gratitude.


5. The Healing Power of Rituals and Ceremonies

Funerals, memorials, and other rituals are profoundly healing for those left behind. These ceremonies provide us with a sense of closure, allowing us to celebrate our loved ones' lives rather than solely focusing on their absence. Creating a personal ritual or even a space at home to honor those who have passed can serve as a continual reminder of their guidance and presence in our lives.


Finding Support in Your Healing Journey

If you’re experiencing grief and find yourself feeling isolated or weighed down, know that support is available. Working with an intuitive healer or medium can help you navigate this path by assisting in cord-cutting, facilitating connection with loved ones on the other side, and providing a space for spiritual and emotional release. Grief is part of our human experience, but it doesn’t have to define us. Your best life is within reach, and there are loving souls—both here and beyond—ready to support you.



Wishing you peace, healing, and the courage to embrace your next chapter,


Heather Lena
