Rhonda Devlin-Gilbert: From Loss To Light With A Spiritual Sherpa

Send us Fan MailWhen grief stacks up, the mind scrambles for control, and the heart goes numb. We brought on Rhonda Dalvin Gilbert, a spiritual sherpa, author, and coach, to walk us through a month that tested everything: closing her brick-and-mortar shop, losing two family members, and saying goodbye to a beloved cat. What emerged isn’t a silver lining story, but a grounded map for moving through pain with dignity: a sacred pause, honest tools, and a clearer path back to center.Rhonda unpacks why all therapy is grief therapy, because change requires letting go of timelines, identities, and expectations. She shows how to turn ordinary moments into ritual, using the never-ending prayer of daily life to restore presence. We dig into practical practices, talk therapy that names what hurts, mirror work to meet the inner child, tarot as a prompt for hard self-conversations, and energy work to settle the nervous system. The goal isn’t to predict the future; it’s to choose it with open eyes.We go deep on forgiveness: how it differs from condoning, why it’s the most freeing decision you’ll make, and how releasing resentment returns color to your world. Rhonda shares stories that sparked her own shift, and we connect forgiveness with gratitude, intuition, and dreams. Learn how a single, specific nightly gratitude with a clear why can align your conscious and subconscious, and how tracking dreams over ten nights reveals the patterns your waking mind misses. Along the way, we talk agency, owning your past, and the courage to love when anger feels safer.If you’re carrying loss—of a person, a role, a plan, or a past self—this conversation offers tools you can use today.
