Grief is a Stepping Stone

Every journey begins with a single step. Grief is so often a stepping stone to living a spiritual life. Because of the intensity of grief, we can reach deeper within ourselves for answers because often, we have nowhere else to turn. In the search for our loved ones, we find ourselves almost desperately seeking…Seeking answers to questions like where are they now? Did they have any pain when they transitioned? What are their lives like now? Is heaven a place? How can I find my loved one…the most important question of all. 

It is in these questions that the spiritual journey unfolds. For each of you, we await your willingness to step on the path towards spiritual freedom, spiritual understanding, knowing yourself as a spiritual being, and having the ability to look at all those you encounter as spiritual beings as well. Make no mistake…your loved ones are alive and well. They rejoice when you rejoice; they dance when you dance, they hold your hand when you are sad; and they comfort you when you are in pain. Whether you feel them or not, whether you hear them or not, whether you see them or not, they are there. We are always there when you need us.

As we have said before, embracing a spiritual journey allows for freedom. All your human emotions, like fear, doubt, and worry, dissipate when you allow yourself to live in the light of Spirit. When you allow yourself to smile from your heart and let it expand throughout your entire body, that smile penetrates through to your mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies, radiating love, joy, hope, and promise. 

So, make the decision today to walk in love. Choose love because love is the answer to everything. When you fall into anger, despair, self-pity, jealousy, or pettiness…simply return to love. You are human; you will make mistakes. But your heart knows your truth. Be your truth. Choose love.
