And she left amidst birdsong...the last few days in hospice house my client was lullabyed by the songbirds who "sang her home". Early on, during our Reiki sessions we talked of how she found comfort in having the birdfeeder deck built lovingly by her husband nearby her bed. She was extraordinarily present in her journey; her spirit in perfect alignment with each step.

Cardinals, woodpeckers with bright red feathers, bossy bluejays and tiny sparrows all lined up daily to show her how it feels to let go and fly. She watched, really watched and listened to their wise song.

And fly she did...gifting those who knew her with smiling eyes, with wisdom, with her agenda for a brilliant life and finally with her heartlight. I have deep gratitude for knowing her, for allowing me to witness and walk this journey with her and mostly for offering me a chance to hold the space as she unfurled her wings.

Reiki in hospice offers a space and a place for graceful transformation at the end of life. It allows for that honest internal dialogue to be heard in the gentlest way.

She and I, we chose to say "till we meet again" instead of goodbye.

I wait with an open heart.

sending peace.
