## Resource

In this episode of Mystic Radio, Robin Alexis and Mary Stephenson welcome Mary Kennison to share the story of her husband, Dave, and the tender experience of releasing his ashes into the ocean with their daughter. Mary reflects on the shock of unexpected loss, the importance of ritual and community, and the ways grief changes the body, the mind, and the shape of daily life. She also shares the lightness and joy she felt in honoring what she and Dave had shared, while allowing their relationship to continue in a new form. Dave was deeply connected to nature, and that connection continued to surround the conversation. The ashes were released at the beach where Mary and Dave had grown up, while hummingbirds, wind chimes, the ocean, and the natural world became living symbols of love, presence, and remembrance. Mary also shares how she continues to communicate with Dave and is now channeling a book with him—offering hope that love can continue to guide, inspire, and participate in our lives after physical death. This episode is lovingly sponsored by Nature—the ocean, the hummingbirds, the wind chimes, and all the quiet ways love reminds us that it is still here.
