Family is everything to me. My children are the most important part of my life, and being away from them has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. Relocating to the other side of the country without them left me with an ache in my heart that I can’t quite put into words. The guilt, the sadness, the anger, and the emptiness often felt overwhelming.
For a long time, I carried those emotions like a heavy weight, as if holding onto them proved how much I loved my kids. I punished myself with guilt, replayed the “what ifs,” and sat with the ache of missing them every single day.
But through my training and personal growth, I found a way to shift. I realised I didn’t need to carry guilt or anger to prove my love. I could honour my children and the bond we share without drowning in negative emotions. I learned how to clear the heaviness, to soften the pain, and to move forward with strength and clarity.
Do I still miss them? Absolutely, every single day. That ache is real. But it no longer defines me or takes away from the love I hold. Instead of guilt, I carry pride. Instead of anger, I carry gratitude for the moments we do share. And instead of sadness, I carry strength, the kind that allows me to show up as the best version of myself, for them and for me.
What I’ve learned and what I want to share with you, is this: holding onto pain doesn’t make our love stronger. Letting go doesn’t mean we stop caring. It means we create space for deeper connection, clearer energy, and the courage to keep moving forward.
If you’re carrying guilt, hurt, or old emotions that feel too heavy to bear, know this: you don’t have to hold onto them forever. Through NLP and Time Line Therapy, it is possible to release what weighs you down and step into a lighter, stronger version of yourself, one that still honours your love, but from a place of peace and strength.
