( I had wanted to include a piece on grief and had asked the guides. This one was bursting out of my brain without me going to my books first. )

Grief is purely and simply a human condition. If you are to love then grief will at some point accompany you in life. It is a time that is taken out of the daily life. It is indeed painful, it is indeed unavoidable, but it can also be seen as the measure of our love for another human being. The positive and the negative. The Yin and Yang. Love and grief.

It is a process from which, at the end, emerges a new human being, as from a chrysalis, forever changed. This need not necessarily be seen as a negative happening, indeed, many are enriched by the process. Their understanding of life deepens, they touch the souls of others more easily, they are more in touch with their feelings. They tread more lightly on others emotions. It can be a very dark time for the soul, even when there is an understanding that death is but an illusion. There is no avoiding grief, it comes whether you wish it or not. You can deny it, but it will still be there.

We say, be patient with yourself. Everyone is different. Get in touch with yourself through meditation and feel and appreciate the new person who is emerging from within. When you are at your darkest remember the love of the Divine that is always with you. Take this light and continue your journey knowing that eventually the darkness WILL lift and you will emerge stronger than ever. The love of your dearest will be carried in your heart and no one can take that away.

Blessings on all of you who are suffering at the moment. It is not in vain, your soul is growing and one day you will see how so, when you join us on the Other Side.

Reach for the light, be it just a tiny pinprick.

Blessings.
