GRIEF

Nothing is gone forever. The belief that we have “lost” someone or something is

merely an illusion to assist us in learning to appreciate our having had it in the

first place. The emotion of grief and the sense of loss are absolutely real, but that

is the point. The lesson of loss is not about the actual physical separation

because the parting is temporary and illusory. The point of the lesson is to

acknowledge that the bonds of love never end and that we have not been

abandoned. Accepting in your heart that you will be reunited with everything you

have ever loved will allow you to move beyond your grief and derive something

beneficial from the experience. To wallow in grief is to pass up the opportunity

you and your soul family have devised and learn nothing from it. Instead, allow

your grief to take you to a place of deeper understanding.
