Tomorrow marks 4 years since my little sister and dearest friend left this world by her own hands, by gun violence, while her blood alcohol level was a .35% and she was in an emotionally harmful relationship. A lifetime of trauma, a broken heart, an addiction, a recent MS diagnosis and nothing short of a courageous, beautiful, deeply loving, and all around amazing person. We are truly complicated humans. Not all of us have experienced the depth of pain that makes us want it to end it all. Though soo so many of us have. I have myself many years ago. I was really intoxicated as well, not planning it, yet that attempt failed. People you know may have had these experiences too but nobody wants to talk about it. Theres shame and fear and so much vulnerability that comes with it. Maybe we can make it a little easier to share by letting others know we have been there.

This wasn’t a planned attempt for Sarah It was a drunken moment of loneliness and despair. She was highly intoxicated and had a gun available to her. I think of her everyday. I love her deeply and grieve all of the memories we haven’t made and all the life she didn’t get to live. I wish so much for her as she travels through what is unfolding. I connect with her in new ways now. In ways we connect with spirit and the energy of what is but is hardly seen. I haven’t been ok since but I do my best every day. My heart beats for those who have experienced death of a loved one in this way. ❤️‍🩹🩵🦋 by @barriobodywork

It’s always such an honor to hold space for babe and mama. Here mama received postnatal Thai massage while her babe received infant CST. You can bring in your little ones for a duo session or babe can just tag along up to 6 months old. When they start crawling around everywhere I can’t be responsible for them while working, though they can still be brought in for treatment. #prenatalthaimassage #postnatalthaimassage #infantcst #thaimassagetucson #prenatalmassagetucson #postnatalmassagetucson by @barriobodywork

The ebb and flow of living in love. Sometimes we find that we have become distant from our own love. There is a way to be in your love again. You can find that precious love, whether it be for the first time or the 5th time. May we find our way to love again and again. 📸 @laurencabrera.jpg by @barriobodywork

To struggling is my birth right, being born of this world.

I just found the ability to give myself grace to be human and not feel shame or guilt for how long or in what ways I may be suffering. I have felt pressure from others to not be grieving anymore, to not have migraines anymore to not struggle anymore.
People want you to feel better, period. I’ve done it myself to myself and to others.

Again, we meet this social idea of perfection. These socialized deals that we make with others and others put upon us to be high vibes or our best selves and feel uncomfortable with witnessing the depth of the experience. Telling us how to change what we are feeling.
The history of denial of the vast human range of experience is great and wide, but I won’t go into that now.

Being our best self may look like pain or hardship at times and yet we feel the pressure and guilt that we are doing it wrong if we are struggling for too long.
People don’t often want to share the ways in which they are or continue to struggle, because often we feel bad about ourselves or bad about our experiences.

We feel this when others are affected by our struggles or make our suffering about them.
We will do everything we can to feel “better”, to be “better”. If not for us for the people we love.

Its a very vulnerable place to be deep in struggle or suffering, to be in pain. Yet this life is full of pain, and when we are denied that by shutting it down or the pressure of it not being okay we deny our own humanness. We deny our life. Sometimes we don’t want to be a burden so we distance ourselves and further deny what we are experiencing. Distance creates distance.

What if we took a breath and allowed ourselves to struggle? If we gave ourselves and others gave us the grace to struggle, how would it actually create ease in the experience? If we were allowed our truth.

Yes, reach out for help and support when you need it and want it, and give yourself and others the vastness to experience what you are going through without creating a void in connection. Allowing this safe space gives us the opportunity to process without pressure. by @barriobodywork

Feeling pulled to post these musings I wrote during a heavy time of grief and investigation.
A time when in the span of 5 months my cousin, aunt, sister and a dear friend passed on.
As April is a time of living, of blooming may we feel the life pulse in all that we have during our brief existence here.

🪺✨🌞
When I die, let me go
Let the end of me be
You do not need to know where, or if you will see me again
Don’t fantasize my next step, for you do not know, yet
Don’t rely on fantastic ideas of my transition to give your future one some ease
Do not immortalize me, but let me crumble
Like the petals of a dying flower
Like the dissipating of water drying on a rock

Don’t romanticize me
As the perfect lover who you compare all future ones to, or the most positive friend who was always there for you, or as someone who did so much for so many

Remember my truth that I am as human as everyone here
That I lied, that I messed up,
that I was made of a ton of broken pieces held together by hope, and that I tried again and again,
to love and be loved, never really knowing if I had made it
Remembering all the happy and joyful moments I had with an earth that provided, people and animals I connected with, and experiences that made it all worthwhile

And when I go remember that in this place all life dies
And while I was here I was alive.
We are alive
So live it up now gently and ferociously till you die and let the fantasy, the immortality, romancing deaths journey, the anxiety of deaths uncertainty and worries of transitions to death, go.

May all deaths be wild and free. 🕊️ by @barriobodywork
