The idea that we "attract who we are" or that our souls consented to be manipulated in some unseen dimension often acts as a deflection, obscuring the reality of real-world harm. I say this because there are mean, predatory people in this world who deliberatelyFri, 25 Sep 2026 11:01:32https://tanyadehaan.my-free.website/blog/the-dangerous-myth-of-love-and-light-and-the-failure-of-real-decencyhttps://tanyadehaan.my-free.website/blog/living-inside-the-shape-of-lossWhen you are living through a loss this deep, it is easy to feel completely invisible to a world that expects you to eventually go back to who you were. What I wish for, is what this image reflects, to simply have my son standing here, right by my side. I don’t want to only hold onto the fading memories of the past; I want the future we were supposed to build together not the past.​Through this journey, I have come to learn that maternal grief has always been recognised across history asFri, 25 Sep 2026 10:13:51https://tanyadehaan.my-free.website/blog/living-inside-the-shape-of-losshttps://tanyadehaan.my-free.website/blog/the-day-the-after-began-the-unspoken-shame-of-a-bereaved-parentThere are moments that quietly divide your life into an irreversible before and after, changing your entire existence in a single breath.​Through the weight of my own survival, I have come to learn enough about grief by now to understand its cruel, dual nature. There is the primary loss and the devastating, unimaginable truth that our beautiful Jasper is gone and that the world has somehow kept turning without him.

When a loss happens unexpectedly, the world changes in a single second. In those moments, grief doesn't just settle in our thoughts and souls, it forcefully enters our whole physical body, deeply impacting our nervous system.If you are walking through this right now, you might feel like you are completely ungrounded, physically exhausted, or entirely disconnected from theFri, 26 Jun 2026 07:24:54https://tanyadehaan.my-free.website/blog/holding-the-shock-how-sudden-grief-impacts-the-nervous-systemhttps://tanyadehaan.my-free.website/blog/remembering-who-you-are-uncovering-your-divine-callingAs I stood here under the sign 'Gift', I was called to remember a moment when someone told me I was too sensitive, and it struck me deeply. Have you ever been told that you're too emotional and to stop feeling? Or that you're too controlling, that you think too much, or that you should stop overthinking? Have people told you that you need to do this or that, or that you're not doing enough?Why is it that our differences can sometimes feel like a burden or cause us to question our worth?

It was a small mistake, but it felt huge-like a sign of how often I had been overlooked or misunderstood. Sometimes, people just don’t see us the way we wish they would. And in those moments, it’s easy to feel invisible, dismissed, or like we’re not enough.As I enjoyed the warmth and laughter of a family gathering, something deeper stirred inside me. I realized I’d been searching for love without even knowing it.

While both can feature similar symptoms—such as fatigue, aches, and bodily discomfort—they emerge from very different processes in the body.

I feel we often claim ownership over our possessions, relationships, people, cars, and even time, yet, at a deeper sense, nothing really truly belongs to us. Acknowledging that all we possess and all that we are is a gift from the Creator, encourages us to approach these gifts with gratitude and generosity.This understanding has changed my outlook on life, and I would like toSun, 29 Dec 2024 13:14:49https://tanyadehaan.my-free.website/blog/the-true-nature-of-ownershiphttps://tanyadehaan.my-free.website/blog/pathways-of-support-celebrating-those-who-stand-by-usLife is full of amazing moments like the mountain tops of our life.
