Grief stricken could not even begin to describe my state of being after learning my mother had died in a car accident.
Thrown into the first stage of grief, denial, I walked around numb, dazed and confused. I did not believe any of ‘it’ was true.
My mother?
Dead?
That’s just not possible. There is no room for negotiation.
How often have you felt isolated, alone, and wished you had someone to talk to? Someone with whom you could hash out nagging issues, run something by, discuss options and alternatives and feel connected, supported and loved?
Imagine if you knew there would always be someone there when you needed a helping hand or a caring, compassionate ear?
Yes, the heavens are rocking and our ancestors and loved ones in spirit are talking! They are talking about important issues facing each and every one of us in this day and age. They are sharing their wisdom and insight and teaching us from their past mistakes and successes. Their messages are coming through loud and clear yet many of you are still unable to hear.
Nearly twenty years ago a woman by the name of Hope touched my life and changed it for the better, without even knowing she had done so. We were brought together by a common denominator at a time in my life when grief ruled supreme. I felt as if I had been fractured into a million pieces.
No one enjoys grieving – that’s a given, but if you stop to think about it – grieving does play a necessary and important role in the death and healing process.
Losing a loved one, whether an animal or person, is a shock to our system. Whether their death was sudden and unexpected or slow and expected, it is a shock to our system.
February is referred to as the month of love. It is traditionally symbolized by hearts, harps, cupids and roses and celebrated among us, the living. Imagine if, during the month of February, we resurrected an ancient tradition and honored our loved ones in spirit as well?
Thank you all for helping me make 2014 such a success!
I wonder if you have ever read this story?
If you haven’t, please do. If you have, then you will most likely enjoy reading it again.
This is my favorite story in the whole wide world.
“There’s no place like home for the holidays and no matter how far away you roam, if you want to be happy in a million ways, for the holidays you can’t beat home sweet home.”
I love that sentiment. Come to think of it – who will you be hosting this holiday season? Will your table include a place setting for your dearly departed loved ones? If that thought has not yet crossed your mind please allow me to share with you…
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like if you were eternally accompanied by someone who loves you as deeply as you love him or her? Someone who ‘has your back’ and is always available to provide advice and guidance?
