IN HER SHOES trailblazer \u2013 Lorraine Wilson. 60. Women share stories of stepping up and living big in Life Part II.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was August 1999 when the unthinkable happened. Lorraine Wilson\u2019s mother and husband died within 5 days of one another. Lorraine was 43. With family on the other side of the world in Australia and her home in Vancouver, Canada Lorraine put one foot in front of the other and walked. Swallowed in grief she willed herself to keep going, a teenage son and daughter, were depending on her for support and strength. While the outside spoke of immense fortitude inside Lorraine was collapsing and falling apart piece by piece.<\/p>\n

In the depths of such pain and grief it would be natural to let go and simply succumb. Instead Lorraine reached out.<\/p>\n

Thus began a journey that in the beginning was immersed in therapy, a myriad of self-help books and the search for a purpose in life. It was, at times, a brutal, soul wrenching 17 year quest for understanding and peace.<\/p>\n

In the end, Lorraine would experience a journey so profound it would reveal her purpose and prompt this former TV producer and PR executive, to forge a new path, one of life, hope and service to others that continues to grow as she enters into her 60th<\/sup> year of life.<\/p>\n

Cheryl: Lorraine, I can\u2019t imagine the pain you felt.\u00a0 I do know that throughout life there are forks in the road and we can choose to go right or left and that out of great tragedy there can be renewed life. Describe the first part of the journey.<\/p>\n

LORRAINE: Nobody can ever prepare you for what you will experience when someone you love dies.\u00a0 Losing two of the most important people in my life within 5 days pulled the rug out from underneath me.\u00a0 I had a choice to crawl into a corner or to use the experience and get the support I needed to help my children and myself grieve our loss in a healthy way.\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Cheryl: \u00a0It wasn\u2019t an easy go, as you progressed it became extremely difficult. You could have said, \u201cEnough…I\u2019ve done enough\u201d. Why did you stay the course? How did you find the strength?<\/p>\n

LORRAINE: I know it now, but I didn\u2019t recognize it then, that we are supported in ways we can\u2019t even imagine. The right people just seemed to show up and provide the profound help and guidance I needed to keep going.\u00a0 One of those people was a woman named Shraddha, she led a support group for caregivers that I attended when my husband Mark, was dying of cancer.\u00a0 After Mark died, we kept in touch. She invited me to a mediation one night and I saw this video of woman named \u2018Gangaji\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Gangaji\"<\/a>

Gangaji’s teachings guided Lorraine then and now<\/p><\/div>\n

who was talking about how to discover peace, right here, right now.\u00a0 I had no idea what she was talking about\u00a0 it didn\u2019t make any sense to me I was in so much pain, but she caught my attention and 15 years later her teachings have changed my life and supported me in discovering my own life\u2019s purpose. I really cannot thank her enough for the gift she has pointed me to.\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheryl: What were some of the most meaningful and significant points along the way?<\/p>\n

LORRAINE: Apart from Gangaji, Shradda also introduced me to a healer\/therapist, Brian Finnie. He was without a doubt the gift I needed at the time.\u00a0 He helped me survive the deep grief and to heal. I trusted him and he encouraged me to trust life again. I was also invited to sit in mediations with Eckart Tolle and introduced to other teachers such as Adyashanti, Pamela Wilson, Muni \u00a0who were all speaking about \u2018waking up\u2019 living a conscious life. Everywhere I turned it was the constant message that was coming to me.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t ignore it. It was then I began doing retreats with Gangaji.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheryl: You\u2019ve said heartbreak frees us up\u2026how so?<\/p>\n

LORRAINE: \u00a0I can only speak from my own experience but every time, without a doubt, when my heart has been broken wide open I feel free and lighter. Most of us avoid letting our heart break but it\u2019s in the willingness to let our hearts break that we can actually discover peace and realize that it was only love that was breaking our hearts and calling us home to ourselves.\u00a0 We may not enjoy the process of our heart breaking but I sure do love the outcome.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheryl: You\u2019ve come to see lessons in the loss of Mark and your Mom and you are thankful for (what you call) the gift they gave you. Can you share some of that with us?<\/p>\n

LORRAINE: I believe had I not experienced the deep grief as a result of their death I would never have asked the question \u2018what am I doing here, what is my life about?\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I would never have discovered Gangaji and the gift of her teaching that has set me free from living a life of suffering. A few years ago I went to India with Gangaji\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Lorraine<\/a>

and 187 people who gathered from around the world to be in retreat. It was a profound experience that changed my life, yet but again.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

After supporting the Dalia Lama’s visit in Vancouver I was invited by my friend James Hoggan (Board Member of the Dalai Lama Centre for Peace and Education) to join him and others to hike Mt. Kalish in Tibet. Once again, I didn\u2019t know it at the time but I was supported to go deeper in my spiritual quest and discover the realization that we are so supported and that life is really living us, all we have to do is show up.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0I have also discovered that while my mother and husband are no longer here in the physical form I have no doubt they are here. We are not separated. Nothing is separated. I feel them around me, I see them in nature, I see them reflected in the eyes of my children and grandchildren.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheryl:\u00a0 You let your heart guide you. What is the difference between letting our mind guide us vs living life from the heart? How can we discern which one is in charge?<\/p>\n

LORRAINE: I can only share from my own experience but I have a very inquiring mind and learned that we process between 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts per day.\u00a0 So, if we have that many thoughts in a day, why is it that only a few particular thoughts captivate our attention?\u00a0 When you start to inquire into the thoughts, they are those that are made up of fear.\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When we let fear rule of lives, we suffer.\u00a0 There is an energy that is living us, it has an intelligence to it, some people call it God, Buddha, Consciousness, presence or love.\u00a0 I resonate with love, that\u2019s my heart calling, and it never lets me down. If you don\u2019t know if it\u2019s your mind or heart speaking, be still, keep quiet and listen.\u00a0 You will know the truth when it speaks to you.\u00a0 And, if you don\u2019t, do nothing until you do<\/em>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheryl: There is a movement these days\u2026.people searching for purpose<\/em>. How did you come to know yours? How was it revealed? How can others find purpose?<\/p>\n

LORRAINE: I think when people ask about their purpose in life, some may want to know, what\u2019s the job I\u2019m supposed to be doing, where should I live, should I be a parent or not, should I travel etc. but I\u2019m talking about a deeper purpose than that. Discovering what is true for you and being true to THAT. It wasn\u2019t a fireworks experience that went off for me, it was very subtle that occurred over time through my inquiry and Gangaji guiding me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Lorraine<\/a>

I realized I was creating my own suffering through activities of my mind and when I opened to welcome everything that was occurring in me, through me, regardless of what my mind was telling me something changed. The more I honored that the more it served me. How can people find it? It\u2019s available to everyone. I think it is possible to find it on your own but I would suggest seeking a teacher who can support your unfolding and inquiry.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheryl: One of the things that immobilizes all of us is fear. It stops us from pursuing dreams and living life to the fullest. It makes us feel stuck and can keep us there forever. You feel your fear is tamed. How did you do it? What can you offer to the rest of us?<\/p>\n

LORRAINE: I\u2019ve learned to know when fear is running the show. If I\u2019m suffering, fear is present. You have to be willing to look into your fear and see what is truly underneath it.\u00a0 I also want to say sometimes fear is present for a reason, if we are in a situation where we can be hurt or abused then of course fear will show up and guide us to get out of the way.\u00a0 The fear you\u2019re talking about that keeps us stuck is because we don\u2019t trust ourselves.\u00a0 I know that when I face my fears the thought of the fear is actually worse than the actual moving through the fear.\u00a0 I always feel free when I\u2019ve moved through fear. So why wouldn\u2019t we want to meet fear and arrive at that place of peace? We are conditioned not to trust ourselves, but if you get support you can move through your fears and the more you do it, the easier it becomes. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheryl: Keeping it Simple represents life and hope. How did it evolve? What is your hope?<\/p>\n

LORRAINE: I want to share what I have discovered with others.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Lorraine<\/a>

Lorraine today, reaching out and supporting others through Keeping Life Simple<\/p><\/div>\n

I want people to know you don\u2019t have to crawl into a cave with grief, you don\u2019t have to be afraid because you don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen in your life. I created Keeping Life Simple<\/a>\u00a0so I could facilitate workshops and support people who want to live life from a place of love instead of fear. I want them to realize that they can have a full life that is free from suffering. \u00a0I think Marianne Williamson says it here;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.\u201d
\n\u2015 Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheryl: By sharing your journey Lorraine you\u2019ve given hope. I could feel my body untwisting and letting go as I read your words. I know others will feel the same. Heartfelt thanks.<\/p>\n
