Losing a child is a loss like no other. It is one of the most devastating experiences a human heart can endure.

And this loss is not one finite event, it is a continuous loss that unfolds over the course of a lifetime. 

​

Some parents describe it as having a wound that never fully heals. The grief stays with you all your life - it just changes its shape over time. It may become quieter, less raw, but it's always there, beneath the surface. 
It moves in cycles, resurfacing in unexpected moments. Years later, something as simple as a song or a passing comment can bring it roaring back.

​

Grief is love with nowhere to go. 

​

Many parents find themselves searching for something that offers even a small sense of relief to their aching heart. 

Some search for reassurance that their child's life mattered.

Others search for a way to stay connected. 
Some simply wish to speak about their child as others speak about their living children. 
And many carry spiritual questions they may have never asked before.

​

It is in this space that astrology can offer one of its gifts.

It offers a way to honor, to reflect, and to shine a light on your child.

What a Birth Chart Can Reveal About a Soul

​

A birth chart, in astrology, is a map of the sky at the exact moment and location of birth.
This map is a reflection of the person born - it reflects their personality, tendencies, gifts, sensitivities, as well as deeper soul qualities.

It shows the lifepath of the person and the important themes of their life. 
It offers true insight into the essence of who someone is.

​

When looking at the birth chart of a child who has passed away, the focus is on their light, on their uniqueness.
For we are all unique sparks of God, of the One, none the same, but equally important, no matter how short or long our life is.

​

In my In Loving Memory sessions, I approach a child's birth chart with love, reverence and care. The intention is always to honor their life, to speak about who your child is from a soul-centered perspective, and to hold space for their memory in a way that feels meaningful.

I have felt a heart's calling to do this work, ever since I started the study of astrology many years ago. As it so happened, my first reading was for a friend and his daughter Alice, who had lived for only one day. 
When he told me afterward that his heart now felt a little lighter, it was clear to me how meaningful a reading like this can be. 

​

In these sessions, I have spoken with parents from many different situations. 
For the mother of René, a baby boy who lived for just two days, it had been decades since her son had passed. 
She had never truly been able to speak about it. "At that time, in my family, it was taboo; nobody said a word about what had happened, not my parents, not my sister. Everybody acted as if nothing had happened, and the same was expected of me."

She carried her grief alone and in silence, for all those years. 

And then, decades later, memories were coming back up and questions arose. 
The heart asked to be heard.

​

Grief does not follow a linear path.

​

Creating Space for What is Often Unspoken

​

Our society in general isn't so great at holding space for the loss of a child. Conversations can feel difficult, or can be avoided altogether.

This can leave parents carrying their grief quietly, without a place to fully express it. 

After the astrology sessions, parents have mentioned various reasons for finding it meaningful.

Some parents found comfort in recognizing and remembering the unique qualities of their child.

Others were delighted to find out more about the personality of their child, when they thought they never could because their child passed when he or she was only a baby.

Some feel relief in simply being able to speak - freely and without hesitation. 
Some are happy to have found understanding and compassion.
Others feel a little lighter after having wondered for years if there was anything they could have done to prevent it from happening. 
Being able to let go of 'what ifs' brings some form of peace.

A Gentle Way to Remember

​

Astrology cannot take away grief, or explain why something happened.
But it offers a different lens - one that focuses on honoring the person that lived. 
It offers a way to reflect on your child's uniqueness, and the imprint they left behind. It offers a way to shine a light on them.

Remembering is an act of Love.
