My Mother’s Day: Did it Work Out in the End?

In a few weeks, I will celebrate Mother’s Day for the first time without my Mother. It has been only eight months since her passing and I continue to work through the grieving process as I continue to heal and try to find myself within our loving and often turbulent mother and daughter relationship. Recently,  I have found myself reflecting on my Mother’s  catch phrase.  “It will all work out in the end”.  My Mother would repeatedly state this tidbit of knowledge during challenging and even traumatic family events. I never truly understood the meaning of these words or what my Mother was trying to express. This catch phrase seemed haphazard. I felt the essence or deep wisdom behind these words had been eroded.  Eroded away possibly by my Mother’s personal experiences with hopelessness, anguish and sorrow. Hidden away to protect herself and her family.  I was astounded to discover my mother’s catch phrase was actually a paraphrase of Henry Ford’s quote; “With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end.” It makes total sense to me now, the essence or deep wisdom missing in my mother’s advice was God. I have learned on my spiritual mediumship journey.  There is a Divine Source, Great Spirit (choose the term you most prefer to use) who asks us to participate fully in our life by taking accountability and responsibility for our life journey and the evolution of our soul.  It is through reflection, meditation, forgiveness and service to others we strengthen our tools of trust and faith.  It is by discovering your inner light you are awakened to the fact all living things are connected, death is an illusion, consciousness survives death, our souls are eternal.  Thank-you Mom, for all the spiritual signs you continue to send me.  For I am very aware, It all worked out for you in the end. Love you Mom and Dad.
