I have another request. I just heard from my friend, Diane. This weekend she was walking her dog, Riley, when he was viciously attacked by another dog. Diane ended up fracturing one of her fingers as she attempted to pull the dog off of Riley. Riley sustained multiple, serious injuries, but he should be okay. If you could, I would greatly appreciate if you could send them healing light.
Thanks again.
I’m so deeply sorry to hear that Your friend Patty is now failing. It may sound strange, but she will be okay. She will be at peace in her passing. I had a message from spirit a few weeks ago about death and not to be afraid of dying, that it is only a passage and not the end of our being. I will pray for Patty and especially for her family, that they may find peace and comfort through the grieving process. Loss is so difficult. I am sending the family compassion and love. To Patty I send peace and reassurance. You are such a good friend, deetoo. I am so sorry for your suffering, too. Much love to you.
Thank you, all, for your loving messages of comfort and healing for Patty and her family. Shortly after I received Patty’s news and posted it on this forum, I had strong spiritual chills for the remainder of the morning. It was comforting, although a little perplexing. Typical of often being too much in my head, I tried to figure out the meaning behind it. I never did and let it go. Then, @bluebelle, I saw your message this morning: “She will be at peace in her passing… I had a message from spirit a few weeks ago about death and not to be afraid of dying, that it is only a passage and not the end of our being.” I sometimes forget that.
You are such a kind group of souls. God bless all of you.
Sending love and light to Patty, her family and friends, Dianne and Riley. Sending the same to you too. I am sure you feel a lot of concern for everyone right now.
May you find peace and love. Sending you love and light. There is much wisdom in the above posts and I hope you will be able to take some into you heart and process the words. Hugs to you.
I want to thank you all so much for your posts. I had forgotten I wrote and was overwhelmed with gratitude. I still find that I have psychic awareness of things like knowing when my friend is home from work by feeling his presence(we live close by). I am hopeful to reconnect with the spirit realm,and of course my daughter. It is so helpful to know you all care. Nearly burst out crying, but am at a library computer.
I will try to check in more frequently, I was feeling like a fraud since my psychic visions have ended , at least for now. But I am realizing that does not make me less than. I am just different as I recover. Thank you all again so so much.
I too suffer from depression. I have found that making gratitude lists really helps me. It is difficult to feel depressed when thinking on and listing blessings.
I understand far too well what you described. For myself, I try very hard to stay in the moment. I call this The Glorious Now. When I revisit the past or project into the future I find my anxiety, depression, and feelings of hopelessness rise.
I recently adopted a poor traumatized cat. In helping her I find that I am lifting myself out of my own trauma. It is slow going with her...she was a hoarder's cat and after several weeks she is finally beginning to trust and purr again. Helping others, animals or people can pull us out of our own heads and restore us.
The other thing is to be VERY gentle with yourself. Treat yourself as you would a wounded child.
I hope this has helped you... <3 Ghandigirl
I am at the animal ER with one of our dogs. Not sure what is going on with him.
The year and a half I rescued dogs made me busy and fulfilled, but the cost and now my painful back and fatigue issues have interfered .
There are times I make gratitude lists. So many things that are good in my life, but when I feel fatigue, anxiety, not getting along with my partner, not interested in anything, it’s so tough. Our dog’s pain is keeping me out of myself. If he dies, I will get depressed.
It was tough for me to share with my therapist yesterday how my pain comes from fear of abandonment and needing her to be tender with me, a word she’s used before. Sometimes I need a good hug, but am afraid to ask as she seems to not want to give me a hug although she hugs others cuz the door was open.So then I feel that loss more as I need connection to not feel so alone as I do when I get that empty feeling near my navel. I don’t have any close friends here in Oregon. My best friend moved to Utah. I need the sun, too, But I need the liberalism of Portland.
Maybe good news. Dog might have vertigo from ear infection. We hope so.
Being gentle with myself is tough with my partner having impatience with my depression on and off for 28 years, plus I grew up in a Catholic, old fashioned Italian home.
i want the energy to get to yoga/tai chi.
thanks for your encouragement.
Anita
Bless you for helping the little kitty...animals are so healing...we can all heal each other.
