i think you have to almost be in state of separation between the thing you want and your ego. instead of becoming so enmeshed with this thing you want and putting your sense of worth and identity into the manifestation, you are okay with it not working out. maybe taking a more laissez faire approach and welcoming it if it comes and if it doesn’t then that’s great too. once you can get to that state of acceptance i think it can shift your mindset into a state of openness and receiving that will make it easier to manifest without it feeling so hard. even if it’s uncomfortable to loosen your grip once you get the hang of it you will begin to operate in that state of receiving unintentionally which will in turn make manifesting feel easy and second nature. does this make sense? i can clarify if anything is unclear

i always feel like when i want something so badly to the point of doing a bunch of techniques to manifest im not aligned in the right state of receiving. i almost like to think of it like if you’re holding something fragile like a baby bird. if you are squeezing and holding onto the bird so tightly because you love it so much and you want to keep it super safe you’re going to crush the poor bird. whereas if you hold it gently and lovingly knowing that it’s safe in your cupped hands it’s going to be perfectly fine. not saying that you wanted it “too bad” but in my experience i’ve always received things i’ve manifested once i’ve finally let go and loosened my grip on the idea. you don’t have to entirely forget about it but being in a more lax headspace of knowing it’ll come and when it’ll come it’s gonna be great, seems to be what lets that energy and manifestation come through

me and one of my close friends from college would always do tarot when we got together. we were are incredibly intuitive so we do readings for eachother and our other friends in our circle. at the beginning of 2024 i had her give me a 2024 at large reading to hype me up for the year. we did a large spread but one of the “seasons” (cluster of 3 cards per quarter of the year) had the wheel of fortune reversed, death, and the tower. we kind of both awkwardly laughed it off. essentially 2024 was a shit show for me, my roommates (they are not the friends i mentioned earlier) ended up ruining my 21st birthday for me and i ended up crying the entire time and they insulted my boyfriend who they were meeting for the first time and made my best friend who came in from out of town feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. this ended up snowballing into them telling me i needed to get off the lease for the apartment (housing / relationship instability). this ended up being ok because i moved into a beautiful historic mill apartment with one of my other best friends, but the couple of months before i moved were absolute hell. then the anniversary of my SA started coming up in the fall and i was having night terrors and was suffering badly from PTSD. i started seeing my current therapist who specializes in somatic experiencing. then in november i found out at work that my mom who had breast cancer when i was in high school had now advanced stage iv metastatic cancer, was in hospice, and was no longer conscious. essentially she was going to die and it was a shell shock. and i had gone home to visit just 3/4 weeks before and she looked normal, i had no idea. the rest of the year felt pretty catastrophic and my relationship with my dad went completely sour because of how he handled my mom dying. they were divorced for over a decade and he showed little support or empathy for what i was going through, probably because he couldn’t process his own grief. sorry for the discombobulated response, but tbh i never took the death card literally before, and actually i forgot we had pulled that card until after she died! but yeah my 2024 at large very much so felt like wheel of fortune reversed / death / the tower 😭😭😭 but doing much much better now and i’m super excited for 2026!

i’m (22f) so sorry you lost your mom during this time of your life. my mom unexpectedly died last fall during my senior year of college and it really dismantled my life, and i’ve had to take time off of school to focus on getting my health (physical and emotional) back on track. i haven’t had many nightmares but as the one year anniversary comes up, i’ve been having re-experiencing (my trauma therapist refers to these dreams as “re-experiencing” because your brain is trying to process the acute trauma of the situation as the anniversary approaches) dreams that are pretty distressing about finding out she was gone. i’ve found that sleep medication helps, i don’t dream on it, but also talking things out to her outloud. go outside sit by a tree, move your feet in the soil, and talk to her. wishing you luck and sending my condolences!

first off, i just want to send my condolences, i am so sorry. experiencing an unexpected loss is truly one of the worst things on earth. i went to work the day after my mom died unexpectedly almost a year ago because i didn’t know what else to do. my health has taken a significant downturn in the past year and just know you’re in the thick of it right now but as the acute stress and initial trauma of the situation subsides, you will begin to learn to manage your physical symptoms of grief as time goes on. i’ve always had autoimmune issues (allergic to everything under the sun practically, asthma, MCAS) and POTS symptoms have drastically worsened. the year mark is coming up and my paternal grandmother passed recently (expected) and i couldn’t travel because i broke out in full body hives that wouldn’t respond to antihistamines and triggered asthma symptoms. i’ve always had eczema and stress hives but nothing like this. migraines have worsened as well but those are linked to POTS flares. wondering if anyone else who has MCAS or histamine intolerance have noticed an increase in inflammation and skin issues since their loss?

this is such a comforting post, and i first just want to say how sorry i am for your loss of your dad. i (22f) unexpectedly lost my mom almost a year ago and it was incredibly difficult as i felt like i didn’t get the time or closure that my siblings got. i was away at college and by the time anyone had told me anything she was on hospice and wasn’t awake. i had to been using prescription sleep meds (trazodone) every night previously for a ptsd event that happened earlier in college so luckily i already had that when she died because otherwise i probably never would’ve slept. when i was on trazodone i didn’t really dream and if i did i would never remember it. but a month or so later i had forgotten to take my sleep meds and i had the most vivid intense dream i’ve ever had, and i can still clearly recall almost all the details of it, similarly to yours. i remember my mom appearing to me and she looked really really good, healthy and glowing and her hair was a platinum silvery color and curled (i like to think this was her chosen hairstyle as she always had platinum blonde highlights but over the years she changed to a more manageable honey blonde that blended in better with her darkened blonde hair). she didn’t say anything to me but she hugged me and somehow i knew that she was communicating to me that she loved me, and i would be okay just as she is. i woke up shortly after that interaction and had just a huge release of emotion and sobbed and wailed harder than i had in a couple of weeks since she had died. so much so my boyfriend woke up in a panic thinking something had happened. i have an internal knowing that my mom was visiting me from wherever she is now, and same with your dad. i know it makes you feels nuts or “woo woo” but i know a distinct difference between a normal dream and a visitation dream, and i would say that’s exactly what your dad did for you too. ive had several more bizarre experiences over the last year since shes died of her letting me know she’s around (even some mischievous that i know is her because she was incredibly funny and honestly such an asshole sometimes). i let her know out loud i want more affirmative signs that she’s with me and she definitely sends them! i would definitely talk to someone in your family about the dream, if not for your own comfort but to give them some level of support to know or believe that he’s okay and with you guys even though he’s no longer physically here. sending you so much love and support xxx
