Theos-Talk Archives (April 2003 Message tt00097)

Dear Simon,
I extend my deepest compassion for the loss of your mother and the
difficulty you and your family are having. I have some thoughts that you may
consider. I hope they might be of some help.
If we try to apply the information shared, we then can use our other
senses to feel the presence of a loved one. We may even look to our dreams
for comfort.
Knowing how much you grieve for her, assures you that she will have the
joy of looking back on her life and seeing how very much she was loved. She
will know that she was a good mother.
Her love for you can be seen in the many gifts she has given you over
the years, both tangible and intangible. If you notice these and recall
those precious moments, you will feel her presence always with you.
We are all given choices of how to respond to life's
situations.Celebrating a life well lived transforms the energy and allows
the bereaved to feel something other than sadness. It then, provides a
positive outlet for the feelings of loss creating a space of "love in
action".
It may be helpful in transitioning to, in her honor, do activities she
would delight in... as you share favorite stories.
The Jewish people have a week where they "sit shiva". That week is spent
remembering and sharing with friends and family all day and night with
whomever comes over. In a manner of speaking, it could be understood as
celebrating.
Although the mind needs time to adjust, it can find comfort in holding a
higher perspective. Always, that is a loving acceptance that all is going
according to a Divine plan. When we focus on acknowledging that a soul has
finished its work and has earned the right to move on, it frees us of the
pain of our loss.
These are some thoughts that I hope may be of some help to you. Time is
a great healer. In the meantime, celebrate the life you were privileged to
live with your mother and the remarkable things she accomplished in her
lifetime. You may encourage friends and family to reveal more of what they
know. It might surprise you.
Cherish the memories,
In God's Love,
Andra
