You are a wonderful, spiritual being who can achieve anything you set your heart on. Always remember that a broken heart is a heart made stronger than before. Your emotional wounds will slowly evolve your soul.
Earth is a school that our soul has chosen to come to in order to learn various spiritual lessons: compassion, forgiveness, love and death. Death is one of the most difficult lessons to fully fathom. But once we do understand, we will graduate this class called Earth.
When you feel the sadness, remember that just because your loved one has moved on to a higher dimension, it does not mean that he or she has forgotten you. It is just the opposite. The spirit body is able to travel with you by using thoughts and desires. He or she continues to share life with you, just in a different way.
Grief becomes part of your life so your soul can evolve; yet you cannot force your soul to grow. Instead nurture it as if it were a tree. Water the seeds of love and compassion, love it and give it much attention until it is ready to grow, blossom and flourish.
Take a few minutes a day to bring your imagination to a place of perfect healing. First surround yourself with love, light and acceptance. Next picture the spirit of your loved one holding you and try to feel the energy. This practice will bring peace throughout your day.
Remember that during the darkness of sadness, the light will always shine to show you the way.
