@lovendures Thank you so much. I look forward to spending more time here and getting to know everyone. I work full time, have pets, a house, and a yard to take care of so I have very little "me" time.
@jov, welcome to the Forum community. Thank you for posting and reaching out to us.
I am very sorry for your loss, jov. I pray that you find peace and comfort in the memories of your beloved mom and precious furry friends. May angels surround you with their amazing grace, comforting and healing your heart.
I just wish we could visit the Spirit World, see them, and then come back. It would make life so much easier. There are so many people living in the world with broken hearts to losing someone close.
Thank you also for shortening my user-name. ?
@lov, I'm glad your user name is okay with you. If you should choose to change it, just go to your account and change it.
Sometimes I feel the presence of someone I miss who has passed. I just stand there and reach out to them with all of my heart. I feel them even more when I do that. I also wish we could visit them, but I believe they are with us.
Years ago, I engaged in a practice of waking at dawn for 55 days to reach out to a loved one who had departed. You light a candle by a window and say three things to them:
1. Thank you.
2. I'm okay.
3. You can go now.
On one of those days, I overslept and saw him waiting for me, leaning against a wall, arms crossed and drumming his fingers as if to say,"hey, I'm waiting for you to show up!" I have never seen someone so vividly on the other side as that time in my sleep. I think they are right here, if we just focus.
@jov I will share a song with you. Music often touches our hearts and says what we can not find words for. https://youtu.be/pBg9btpGqKU
Hugs and Light and Love.
Welcome @jov! I'm so sorry for the losses of your fir babies and especially your beloved mother. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts. I've been busy of late and a little remiss in posting these past few months but I remember how loving this community is so I try to check out the prayer list every now and then. Glad I did. Loving energy and HUGS ❤️
@triciact We love you and always welcome your posts, so full of hope, heart and humor, dear friend.
@jov, That 55 day ritual I learned to do for someone I was very close to turned out to be powerful and helpful in getting me through the grieving process. We are trying to help them move on, but to do that, we have to move on. When I would say the second part, "I'm okay," I would usually cry and feel all the ways that I wasn't okay. But that was therapeutic. I have searched the Internet to find the source of that ritual, but it doesn't seem to exist out there. It was a Zen teacher who gave it to me.
Well here I am again asking for prayers and support. I find I am mentally and spiritually feeling weakened by ongoing issues that don't seem to ever resolve. I am sore and limping and my stomach is churning. If anyone can get a read on where I go from here, how I keep plodding along with my broken heart, I'd listen.
I don't like to share personal details. I feel so depressed that writing this feels like slogging through jello, but I am a bit worried for my well being. I also feel that you all are psychic enough to get me, if that is what is needed to help. I'll only say it is tied up in my divorce and my child.
I keep praying to G-d and the angels but I am so clouded in loss, pain,and anger I can't hear or see what messages are being given.
@ghandigirl sending an angel to help you. I see her waving her hand in front of your face but you don’t see her. She turns into a teddy bear for you to hold close to your heart. She will stay with you all night or any time you need her. I will send pure healing too. I wish you well in every possible way that you need.
