Changing Our View on Grief

Jessica | May 18, 2015

One of the most difficult aspects of grief comes from the belief that it ends.  While the pain becomes less intense, it still manifests itself as we continue to live our life without our loved ones.  Changing our view on grief can be helpful as it allows us to be sad without thinking that something is wrong with us.  If you are like me, then you still have sad days.  You have times when you cry because the person you lost is no longer with you.  We can’t expect to never feel sad when we think about our loved one.  As the quote below states, “All we can do is learn to swim.”

    Until we truly understand our nature on earth and karmic lessons as well what SOUL really is, will we truly understand truth and our spiritual connection. Our souls move from one plane to another. Begin to live in your world, miss of course all near and dear to you and know we will all connect again on another plane. The earth plane now is different and so are you as you begin your spiritual journey. Love with love and gratitude!
