I'm looking for ideas for restoring spiritual energy.
My mother-in-law of 20 years spent this summer dying from cancer, passing about 2 weeks ago. This is a huge thing for my family, especially my husband, but also for me. Not only was she a person with a large presence, it is one of those deaths that really make you think about your own mortality and changing stages of life. So, two days following the funeral, we are grieving, and trying to help our kids grieve. We just really needed time to rest and comfort each other. Instead, we get a supposed friend bringing in a tornado of abusive and manipulative behavior that was intended to isolate us and leave us vulnerable to her. Some people would call it psychic vampirism, some people would call it personality disorder, and others would just call it messed up. It left already hurt people reeling. There was painful fallout, including anxiety attacks and fear for our wellbeing.
We have pulled together, and friend is no longer around. But it is exhausting. I feel as if I am recovering from surgery. I know I will be okay, and my family will be okay. I am just sooo weak and tired. I know to exercise, rest, eat well, and meditate. It just takes all of my strength to walk around. It is not depression, it is just a kind of exhaustion combined with an appropriate level of grief. If anyone has experience with any types of meditations or spells or mundane tips for feeling stronger I would surely appreciate it.
Also, I am a little nervous about attempting any kind of magic right now, as I feel so weak. I am slowly cleansing my home, which is helpful.
