Christine Marie Goguen

On December 18th, Christine Marie Goguen, loving Mother, Friend and Sister transitioned into the hands of god, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and unconditional love that will forever remain here on earth. 

Every soul who came across Christine was instantly touched by her warmth, relatability and selflessness. No matter the life circumstance, her true essence never failed to prevail. With that, she raised her daughter, Elicia Goguen, who continues to not only feel incredibly blessed to have had such a beautiful childhood with a mother as kind as Christine, but she continues to carry on her spirit down here on earth, reminding the world that love, kindness and understanding towards oneself and others is the thing that brings ultimate transformation and growth here on earth. 

Christine was a consistent reminder to all, to never forget the things that matter the most- which is to slow down and take a deep and meaningful look at how beautiful mother nature curated this earth. She did this endlessly through the love of plants, animals, children, books, personal solitude.. the list goes on. She continually had the utmost respect for nature and found beauty in the simplicities of life, something many of us take for granted. 

As Christine's only daughter, we have an unbreakable bond in which has not been broken even as she has transitioned on into the spiritual realm. With that said, I want to share a message that I believe comes from her, through me, that she would want you to hear:

 “I ask that when you think of me, you take a moment and connect to the part of you who knows the truth of who I’ve always been. The part of you who knows my soul. The part of you that knows the love that I’ve always had for you, for the world, and for myself. I ask that when you think of me, that you remember the light within me, and that on the days that you miss me dearly, you remember that I am at peace. I am at home with myself and at home with god. I also ask that when life is presenting you with the option to respond out of love or fear (because it always does) that you do your very best to respond out of love, for that is the very essence of my soul and how you can continue to always honour and keep me close. I ask of you to keep your heart open and your mind clear, for that will allow me to be everywhere that you are.”

During this time I ask everyone who knew of my mother, to honour her in a way that feels right to you. Whether that may be to plant something in remembrance of her, lighting an incense while playing a song that reminds you of the memories you shared, or simply passing by fields of flowers or animals (specifically alpacas) and taking a moment to deeply know within your soul that she is there, within every flower, within every expression and movement of those animals, and within every breeze of wind you feel on your skin. Remember that she is in nature, everywhere. She is within every act of kindness you make and within every piece of love you learn to give to yourself and to others. She will be there whenever you need her the most. 

I love you mom.. forever and always. 

Until we meet again,Elicia <3
