Our beloved Sherry, Essential Oils Therapist Graduate in Boulder, Colorado, a divinely attuned massage therapist, loving hospice support, and colonic therapist, anoints her clients with the "oils of joy and gladness", shares her use of oils with a client during her death passage.
"Farida, thank you for all you do in bringing this work into the world in such a blessed way filled with beauty, love and laughter.
(NEXT CLASS APRIL 18th - five days, with three days devoted to the change, loss, grief, death, dying trauma processes and passages)
"I want to share with you and any of your students my use of the medicinal grade essential oils in my death passage work. I have been caring for an elderly woman since November whose colon cancer had returned and also suddenly was showing some signs of dementia which possibly could have been a brain tumor.She had been given 3-6 months to live. Her family consulted with me and decided to keep her at home with me being her lead caregiver.
Ten days prior to her passing she became quite anxious one evening after going to bed. There were many "people' in the house none of which she knew at this time and felt she needed to be up with them. After all you don't sleep when you have company. She was becoming quite agitated. Traditional medicine would have recommended giving her valium to calm her anxiety or something stronger if this didn't work. A little White Angelica on her forehead and an assurance that
we didn't need to entertain and she was able to go back to bed and sleep.
As her passing became closer and more labored I brought in Valor and applied it to her feet, Peace and Calming for Diffusing, Lavender massaged over her entire body and Release on her throat.. Not only did these oils help her but really changed the energy and the vibration of all in the room. I had the sense of people tapping in to a deep remembrance of what it is like to midwife a loved one through their death passage in the same way you would attend or hold space for a birth. Within moments one of her daughters was recalling when her own son had been born in that very room where she was now with her mother and how her mother had been such a support for her at the birth. Quietly singing her favorite family songs and prayers were recited throughout the next days.
Within days Marie passed away at home with her 4 daughters and one son and some of her grandchildren by her side. We prepared her body for washing and used the YL oils we had been using for the past 10 days. I put lavender and Peace and Calming in with all the water in the vases of flowers in the room and continued to diffuse the Peace and Calming. We had a 3 day vigil at home and everyone remarked on the energy of the room when they were there holding space
for her. I know angels are always present and this time I felt the oils were making their work a little easier."
