What Will It Take to HELP US to MOVE ON? |
|
To All,
I think all of us get stuck at certain points in our grieving for those we love and miss so much, but we don't have to let our suffering, or our hurt and pain stop us from being who we always have been: LOVE, JOY, PEACE, HAPPINESS, CONTENTMENT, KINDNESS and COMPASSION.
So many times we only focus on what is bothering us or what is occupying our mind at the moment that we don't realize that we have the capacity and the ability to change what we either put into our mind or what we actually are thinking about, but it is so tough to do and so tough to be consistent about it, especially when we hurt so badly and only have those thoughts about that departed loved one and how much we wish we could be with them.
We are creatures of habit, even if that habit is wrong, old or faulty. Look at the endless accounts of what people have done or how they have acted or reacted when a loved one has passed on. It seems that the only thing that we have seen is the endless pain, agony, heartache, anguish, and the expressions and displays of emotions, feelings and regretable words to and for that cherished loved one. There is nothing inherently wrong in any of this, but there must come a time when we are clear in what actually happens at the moment of a loved one's physical passing. They have been reborn again or have gone "HOME" after completing or finishing what they have come to accomplish or learn, while here.
We should be so very happy and glad for them but we are not and that's because we are selfish creatures, for we want those we love and miss so much to live with us forever right here and now. This cannot be done!! Have you ever thought how this loved one would have reacted had you been the one to have gone "HOME" first? Wouldn't you in your new home free of any pain or hurt want this loved one not to grieve for you, knowing what you now know being on the "Other Side" and in an environment where only love, peace, happiness is in every breath and in every particle of existence?
We must be able to think from their point of view, for if we can, then it might make it a little bit easier for some of us to move on, knowing that it is just a very short time until we are in their personal company, one again. We must be strong, have faith and a knowing that all will be well, even if there is utter turmoil in our own life here and now! Together, we will fight the good fight and protect and defend one another, even in the midst of our own hurt and pain. Together, we will surmount any challenge and face even physical death itself with resolve knowing that there is no DEATH of any kind and because of that one important point, we will have no more FEAR of what awaits us upon our own transition from this world to the next, where our loved ones are in breathless anticipation of our return to them!! Know YOU are so loved!!
Always a loving brother,
Steve D. |
