In the therapy and healing world, there is a concept called ‘The Dark Night of the Soul’.

It is a period of emotional crisis where often painful emotions come to the surface in a very overhelming way.

Sometimes life events are the catalyst, and you might question everything about your life, have a crisis of faith or feel like you are in such a bad way that there is no coming out of it.

How many dark nights have you had so far, mama?

But there is no darkness without light.

These intense, crisis-like periods offer huge opportunities for healing and personal growth.

I hit rock bottom when my little one was around 5 or 6 months.

I had gone through months of fusiness due tu silent reflux without knowing the cause of the problem and that once identified it was very easy to fix.

I hadn’t slept for more than one hour straight in months.

I had been on an elimination diet for months thinking that maybe the problem was something I was eating…

I remember some days I thought:

“One more sleepless night and I will faint”

“One more bad feed and I will go crazy”

I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.

There were some very dark nights for this mama.

I don’t know why I had to go through such hardship, only God knows, and hopefully I will know one day too.

What I know is that THERE IS ALWAYS LIGHT at the end of the tunnel. Even when you can’t see it.

Looking back, I know this wasn’t in vain.

I have learnt so many lessons I’m still integrating them. I am a complete different woman now, stronger, more humble, kinder, more authentic than ever.

So mama, if nights feel dark right now, I hear you.

There will be light, I promise.

This too shall pass, trust me.

Where now you can only see despair, one day you will see wisdom.

In the meantime, just take a deep breath and do whatever you need to surf the wave. Ask for help, don’t this alone.
