In this deeply moving episode of The Empowered Spirit Show, host Terri Ann Heiman sits down with Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman, a therapist, healer, and author of the new book, The Eternal Bond: Daughters Honor Their Mothers on the Other Side. Set against the backdrop of a powerful cosmic alignment with Mercury and several other planets in retrograde, this conversation serves as a cosmic doorway to explore the profound, continuing bonds we share with our loved ones after they pass, with a special focus on the sacred mother-daughter relationship.

Dr. Roseman shares insights from her research and the 20 moving narratives featured in her book, shedding light on the reality of post-death communication, the importance of honoring your unique grief journey without a timeline, and the ways we can continue to feel the love and presence of our mothers. This episode is a comforting and validating resource for anyone navigating the complex path of grief, offering hope and empowering listeners to embrace the idea that the connections of love are truly eternal.

Key Topics & Highlights

• Grief as a Taboo Topic: Dr. Roseman discusses why our culture struggles to talk about death and grief, often leaving the bereaved without support when they need it most.
• Supernatural Signs & Connections: The conversation normalizes the experience of receiving signs, messages, and feeling the presence of loved ones who have passed. These are not things to be dismissed but are a common and sacred part of the grieving process.
• There is No Timeline for Grief: Both Terri and Dr. Roseman emphasize that healing from loss is not linear and has no deadline. They share personal stories to validate the need for individuals to grieve at their own pace.
• The Myth of “Letting Go”: Dr. Roseman passionately refutes the common advice to “let go” of the deceased, arguing that this is harmful and untrue. Instead, she advocates for continuing the bond and the relationship in a new way.
• Empowering Healthcare Professionals: A key mission of Dr. Roseman’s work is to better educate doctors and therapists on the needs of grieving patients, encouraging more compassionate and holistic care that goes beyond medication.
• Finding the Right Support: The episode provides valuable advice on how to find a therapist who can truly support your grief journey, including the importance of interviewing them to ensure their philosophies align with yours.

Notable Quotes

Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman: “Grief is a very difficult topic and unfortunately in our culture, it’s also a taboo topic. You know, no one really wants to talk about it… I think they don’t know what to say or what to do and it frightens them.”

Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman: “It’s very normal for people after the death of a loved one, especially someone they were very close to, to have these kind of extra sensory experiences. It’s just not something that we talk about.”

Terri Ann Heiman: “There is no time on grief… I allowed myself all of that time to grieve. And I think that’s important for people to hear.”

Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman: “I hate the verbiage, you know, like, ‘you have to let her go.’ I was told if I didn’t do that, I was somehow impeding my mother’s progress on the other side, which is total bullshit… How do they know what’s going on on the other side?”

Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman: “Knowing that that connection is there forever and one doesn’t have to relinquish it is incredibly empowering.”
