Grateful Even In Grief

Dear beautiful ones,

I am here not as one,

But as many.

I speak to you with a feminine voice tonight,

For I know there is compassion flowing for your friend.

And I am here with others to soften the blow of loss,

And also to let you know that your friend is held by angels.

She has been,

For quite some time,

Even as we speak.

She will be cared for,

For she is one of us,

As she will soon discover.

Your loving prayers lift her even higher.

And I want you to notice of love that you have right now.

And I want to remind you that feeling loss is feeling love,

And the capacity that you have to love one another is your most precious gift.

Sometimes it feels out of reach,

This intensity.

But when you are this close to saying goodbye,

It is very real.

So,

Even in your grief,

Dear ones,

Give thanks,

Give thanks for your ability to feel.

It is one of the aspects that makes human beings so very special.

Let us place our hearts together,

Yours with ours,

Ours with yours,

As we send you the compassion and the love that you have offered each other and offered to your friend.

Let us hold you,

For even if you do not know this person,

You have your own beloveds who you may be grieving.

We will carry you,

Our love and compassion meets yours,

And this,

Dear ones,

Is what you offer into the world so very often.

It is what you came here to do.

This simple act,

This profound act,

Takes you down to the core of your being,

The core of your purpose.

Let us take a breath,

Dear ones,

A deep breath,

Feeling what it is to be human.

Even in all the mess,

All the mistakes,

All the ups and downs,

It is a blessing.

Take another deep breath,

And let your shoulders drop,

And let your struggle ease.

Move into a state of surrender.

Let it all go.

Receive our love.

Receive our compassion.

We send these on infinity waves made of white water.

Let this move throughout your body,

Easing,

Relinquishing,

Allowing flow back into your system to refill your well.

Feel that love flowing throughout your body and your field.

If you can receive,

It is good to practice.

You may feel yourself expanding and being lifted up when you feel that you have received enough to refill your well.

Settle back down into your body,

Gracefully,

Gracefully rejoining that beautiful thing that carries you through life.

Grateful.

Grateful to be in that body.

Grateful to breathe.

Grateful to love.

Grateful to grieve.

Grateful.
