A new client referred to me is consumed by grief and sadness, and focuses on the untimely death of her daughter. Is her daughter attached to her as a lost soul spirit or is she safely in the light?

The daughter's spirit is indeed attached to her, despite her optimism that her daughter is in a better place and flourishing. That is simply her great love for her daughter being projected onto the situation but is wishful thinking. And the fact that her daughter feels close energetically, she interprets as her daughter being safe now and on a higher plane when, in fact, what has happened is the daughter at least is no longer visibly present and deteriorating under the mother's watch. The problem is, in effect, contained but not in the most ideal way. While she is providing a safe haven for the daughter, the daughter truly needs to move to the light to continue her soul journey and this will free the mother from the preoccupation with the daughter and her passing. In addition, the protocol work you will be doing will be instrumental in completing a deeper healing for the tragic loss and that is what is most needed to help her get past this and resume her life activities successfully.
