(these questions were asked by a woman whose
11 year-old daughter Nicole recently died after a long illness)
Will
I ever find peace and fulfillment?
Loved
one, there are many energies changing within you at this time. You are
in a state of "limbo" as it were, because you have been so
busy and fully focused on other things for many years now. At this time,
it is good that you are questioning all that has been meaningful to
you in your life so far, and you are sifting through this information
and gleaning from it that wisdom and the intentions that you desire
to carry forward into your "new life" as it were. For indeed,
you are feeling a normal sense of sadness in the "loss" of
your child, or what we would prefer to refer to as her transition, but
you are also feeling a sense of being "untethered" from the
planet and all that has held you to it so far in your life. You're entering
a period of transformation that can be painful and uncomfortable during
the process, but unbelievably liberating at the end, just as any birthing
process.
As you know, Nicole was in your life for many reasons, but one purpose
was to liberate you from a place of pain where you have found shelter
for so many life experiences (or what others would refer to as "past
lives"). How can her loss liberate your pain? Because it lances
at it as though with a knife, leaving you open and bereft, yet with
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reach a hand into that bloody core
and remove the source for once and for all. It is a brutal picture,
but a challenge which you intend to take on, and part of your reason
for choosing Nicole. There was no other way besides shock and trauma
to lead you to the core of pain, and release it for good, so that you
can find truth, true peace, and true happiness.
So
to answer your question about purpose and a sense of fulfillment, those
concepts are symptoms, never causes, of life's problems. Now is the
time, chosen by you, for you, to begin the inner search. Please realize
these are not words of cliché, or what ones here do sometimes
refer to distainfully as "psycho-babble". No loved one, this
time of realization is ALL, the ALL, that will have, as its result,
purpose. See yourself as having walked through a door, just as Nicole
has, into a new room. You must discover all the lights and shadows within
this room in order to see the results manifest in your material life.
This most effectively begins with writing, or journaling as some do
say, but without pressure to make it "right". Let your thoughts
and emotions flow through your pen. Learn a form of meditation that
works for you and commit to it daily, so that you can release what has
been a fundamental need for many years to connect intensely with the
reason and logic and pain of the physical world, and reconnect, find
the truth of you, in the spiritual world, without and within. You have
many angels and guides to assist you in this matter.
Was
Nicole greeted by anyone on the other side?
Oh
dear one! With love beyond measure was this one greeted upon transition!
Remember, there are types of "families" we refer to as "soul
families". These are souls who tend to incarnate together as friends,
family, mates, or when not incarnated, act as guides, or just "check
in" to make sure all is well. Why do we not remember these family members
when we choose an incarnation? Because in truth, no human would be able
to stand the pain. If the memories were all conscious, the brain would be
on unbearable overload, the lessons meant to be the current lessons would
be lost in confusion and pain, and probably everyone would find a way to
end their lives and get back "home". So as soon as Nicole made
her beautiful entry into her "home", she was greeted by many whom
she already knows and the reunion was an amazing thing of light and beauty!
It is such a time of joy, that the dichotomy between the joy of those who
transition and the terrible sadness of those who are still embodied can
only be described as a chasm too wide to give words to. Right now she is
in a phase where she is gently being led through the phase of life she just
experienced, the lessons (although mostly she was embodied as a selfless
gift of love), and then she will gradually reconnect with her true soul-self,
a process that leads all souls, once finished with their completed transition
phase, appearing to ones as around the age of 30. It is a process. But to
her, it will seem as no time before she is greeting you back home, and she
knows this, and does not grieve. She absolutely emanates love and joy, for
she loves being able to move and dance and is a joyful, wondrous soul.
How
can I help my surviving children find peace?
Share
your new inner focus, your interest in the inner journey, with these
children. Invite them along the path. They may show various attitudes
at first, but release this with a loving smile. Suggest family exercises,
where all sit down and discuss, what is the spiritual life? What does
it mean? How does it feel to know that once someone has made their transition,
all of the world's goods and accomplishments become meaningless? How
important should we make the things of this world (for indeed, we cannot
become Monks and leave this place of learning altogether, or we are
missing something indeed), and how important should we make the things
of the spirit? Prayer is creative energy, creative power. Use it constantly,
while remembering that each child is called to his or her own path.
Pray that their path is clear, that their wisdom and spiritual vibrations
are opened up, stimulated, to receive this form of thought. Take the
journey together. It is part of what is meant to be in
this time, and you are exactly "on path" as we say, with all
that is happening at this time in your life.
