The Cycles of Life: Healing, Death and Grief with Mary McMonagle

50 minutes Posted Mar 13, 2023 at 4:00 am.

Mary talks about her work as a Reiki master and life coach

Jill’s work with people around the end of life is similar in that we need to shift what we believe in order to meet the experiences that we're gonna have.

The first death Mary can remember and recall was her grandmom.

Getting over the fear of death, understanding that this fear is really just the fear of the unknown.

When Jill became a mother, that was a huge ending and a rebirth into a whole new version of herself.

Grieving doesn't have to mean a bad thing, it means you're healing.

Feeling our feelings.

Crying is a vulnerable space to be in, and vulnerability is beautiful.

The most healing thing that you can do for somebody is just sitting there and holding that space for them.

Maybe at that moment of death, it actually clicks and they die in peace.

Mary’s dad right now is on hospice and is in the end stages of his life.

Mary had to communicate and ask for help when she is feeling overwhelmed.

Needing to have certain conversations they have had such a rocky road, and even the last few months leading up to when he got really sick, Mary and her Dad were not talking.

Relationships, especially with our parents, can just be so complicated.

Death is very vulnerable and it brings up a lot of unprocessed things especially between siblings.

Spiritual hygiene, just like brushing your teeth.

Reach out for help when people need it, whether it's death doulas, or somebody that does a different healing modality that could help you.

Mary has a free Upgrade Your Energy course.

Start of the second part of the episode

You really don't know how you're gonna feel about the death of a loved one until they die.

It's so important to put yourself in a position where you're able to work through it.

Creating a self-regulation plan to work through grief.

Finding people that have gone through something similar to help with the grieving process.

Humans go through cycles, the seasons go through cycles, everything goes through cycles.

In episode 9 of Seeing Death Clearly, my guest is Mary McMonagle.

Mary is your healing hype girl guiding you to live a purposeful life through her spiritual lifestyle brand True Vibe.

She is a reiki master teaching students to heal, transform and understand their life's purpose from a vibrational level. Also, she is a certified quantum life and energy coach.

Her brand True Vibe is about following your heart and staying true to yourself.

She believes healing doesn't happen overnight. Mary guides her clients to embody trust and confidence - trusting themselves and feeling confident living their purpose.

Mary specifically works with women who want to heal parts of themselves so they can attract their soulmate.

When you are really seeking love and you are getting ready to put yourself out there, it all comes down to healing beliefs that you have created over the years around your confidence, your self-love, and around trusting yourself.

“Our beliefs that are so ingrained in us from childhood, they were put there by our parents, by the society around us, whether it's our schools, our religions, and where we grow up. They stay with us and it really affects the way that we move through life. With my work with people around the end of life, we need to shift what we believe in order to meet the experiences that we're gonna have.”

This episode is a little different, we recorded it in two parts.

When I first spoke with Mary, her father was on hospice and we recorded an additional quick episode after her father died, so be sure to listen to the entire interview.

The break in recordings happens around the 38-minute mark, you can find the break in the chapters as well if you would like to jump there easily.

This is a really beautiful episode where we talk about healing as well as death and grief.

As with all of my conversations on the podcast, I hope it challenges you to think about your experiences and beliefs about death, dying, and grief.
