For those who are wondering, there was no newsletter last week. I have a very close friend who is like a sister to me, and she is critically ill in hospital, and my focus has been on her.
There are times in everyone’s lives, where they are faced with watching a love one passing, or being seriously ill. They may have been diagnosed with a disease or illness, this affects the person who is ill, plus the family and friends who are loving and supporting them.
My friend, adopted sister, is like me she is spiritual, and understands that there is life on the other side. That it’s our body that is being left behind, and our soul lives on. Many people have had messages from love ones that have passed on.
Its lovely to see her go through the different stages, as she lets go more, comes to a place of peace, and serenity. There have been little blessings along the way, where we feel the gratitude. There was a stage where she was unable to talk, the Doctors discovered a build-up of fluid, which they released, and she started talking again. (this was far more complicated than it sounds, and was life threatening),This gave her the opportunity to say her good byes, meet her grandson who was 5 weeks premature. The joy on her face when she got to hold her grandson.
It’s hard on all of us, as they don’t know what is wrong with her, and the frustration of not knowing. I am finding it interesting how everyone is reacting. The people who understand the soul lives on after someone dies. How egos that are coming to the fore, what people are saying, which is their way of dealing with the situation, and in some cases, being in denial. It’s sad they still feel separated, I understand it’s their way of coping with loosing someone.
Then, there are the quiet ones like myself, who work quietly away with our spiritual work. Who are so much more aware of what is happening, and able to support our friend in a way she requires. We understand we can still connect with her, when she leaves her body, and can still communicate with her in a different way. We know the body is not working the way it should, and is slowly shutting down. A miracle may happen, and we know this may happen. However, when a person has been sick for a long time, they are tired, there is no quality of life. They get to a stage they want to go home, and the best thing is to allow them to go in peace and love.
Through this journey my own awareness and growth has grown astronomically. This is being part of the journey, and some of the mentors, I am following. I realize how much we are one with all things. I see this growth happening in other people as well, seeing them having the confidence and courage to speak out. It’s wonderful, that my adopted sister is still helping people grow, blossom and learning through her passing.
It is sad, that some who profess they know the spiritual side, however, are still see everything in a 3D human aspect, with the feeling of separation. This is their journey as well, and the way to help them is to love them through it, accept that it is their journey, and in some cases know they are in denial.
This is what I believe this whole journey is about, loving everyone through the path they have chosen, in dealing with our friend dying or passing over.
By writing this newsletter, it has brought clarity and the understanding everyone is on their own individual journeys. To help them, is being in a place of acceptance, feeling love for all of them, allowing them their own individual journeys. The frustration that may arise at times, by comments made, is accepting it’s their way of dealing with it, and they are growing through it, and being there in loving support for our friend/ sister, and the others who are on the journey with us.
