Honoring the Sacred Role of Parenthood Through Hard Times
As a Metaphysical Mentor and Intuitive Coach, I often hold space for clients as they walk through life’s most tender and transformative passages. In the stillness of spiritual hypnosis, beneath the noise of everyday thought, something deeper often speaks. A voice of clarity. A wisdom beyond the personal. A remembering.
This quote came through one such session—spoken by the Higher Self of a mother navigating a season of heartbreak, resilience, and profound growth.
It stopped me in my tracks.
“She has divinely led her children through painful times. They know strength by watching her.”
This was not just for her.
This was for all the parents who’ve walked through fire—wondering if the heat left their children scorched.
This was for those whose strength was forged in the middle of the storm, not after it passed.
There are seasons in life when we are not the smiling, carefree version of ourselves we hoped our children would remember. There are seasons where survival becomes the spiritual path—and breath, the prayer.
You may wonder if you’ve failed them.
If the tears you held back and the ones you didn’t have quietly damaged them.
If the brokenness of your marriage, your bank account, your emotional capacity… somehow left them fractured too.
But let me offer you what was offered to us in that sacred space:
They know strength by watching you.
They’re learning not because life was smooth—but because you showed them how to navigate the rough.
They watched you keep showing up.
They heard the courage in your voice when you whispered, “We’ll be okay.”
They felt your arms around them even when you had nothing left to give.
They witnessed you rise, wobble, cry, keep going—and that is what they will carry in their bones.
The divine doesn’t judge your fatigue.
It doesn’t ask for perfection.
It sees your walk through fire and calls it holy.
Your strength isn’t in pretending everything is fine.
It’s in making space for truth, holding your center when everything around you is shifting, and choosing to love anyway.
Parenthood is not about shielding them from every storm.
It’s about letting them see that storms can be walked through—and that the heart can remain open, even in torrential rain.
So if you’re in a hard season right now...
If your house is a mess and your mind is heavy…
If you’re worried they’ll remember the stress, the yelling, the nights you weren’t okay…
Let me remind you:
They will remember your effort.
Your presence.
Your humanity.
Your resilience.
They will remember that love can look like making lunch with a tear-streaked face.
That bravery can sound like asking for help.
That strength doesn’t always roar—it sometimes just breathes.
You are leading them.
Not in spite of your pain, but through it.
And they are watching.
Not just what you do—but how you stay.
They know strength by watching you.
And that is enough.
More than enough.
Divinely enough.
