Grief isn’t the end of the story—it's often the beginning of a deeper spiritual awakening. In this powerful and heart-opening episode, ancestral healer and end-of-life doula Bernadette Thompson shares how her husband’s struggle with alcoholism became the catalyst for unexpected spiritual expansion and profound ancestral connection.

Bernadette reveals the moment everything changed: a visitation dream from her great-aunt Sister Lou delivering a simple, life-altering message—“we hear your prayers.” What followed was a series of undeniable spiritual experiences, including ancestors speaking through her during prayer in an Irish brogue she had never used before. Her story is a breathtaking reminder that our loved ones remain energetically connected to us long after they transition.

As a trauma-informed genealogist, Bernadette breaks down how:

• Generational trauma is imprinted on our DNA
• Patterns, coping mechanisms, and resiliency are inherited
• Science and spirituality overlap when it comes to ancestral healing

For those navigating grief, Bernadette offers compassionate guidance for recognizing signs from loved ones on the other side—unexpected songs, scents, pennies, flickering lights, and the subtle ways spirit uses energy to communicate.

This conversation invites listeners into a new understanding of death as a sacred transition, “as beautiful as a baby being born,” and illuminates how ancestral wisdom can transform pain into purpose.
