Mommy always said the worst pain anyone could ever experience is the loss of a child. She herself experienced it, with the loss of Stevie at age 11 to a drunk driver. Even though sister B and I were born years after his passing, We felt the pain of his loss as well.
Two weeks ago my dear friends and neighbors Mollie and Ryan’s sweet 4 month old baby Josie left this plain. Knowing the pain we’ve felt just witnessing it I cannot imagine the pain of experiencing it. We’ve had many conversations about God, purpose, souls journeys, signs, free will and life after death these past couple weeks. These are conversations I have everyday with clients, but they hit differently these past two weeks.
I love what their pastor shared in Josie’s celebration of life yesterday. He said, we will have these questions, and then, let them be. We don’t have to answer them.
If you have questions about these deep concepts, I’ve found much peace in sitting in silence, talking with nature talking with God and the spirit world, and opening up through the silence for the answers. The answers come, but they don’t always come quickly. Sometimes they come through signs, recommended books, conversations with a pastor, a dream, a whisper in the back of the mind… but the silence opens up the space for them to come.
There are many books I’ve found helpful for myself and my clients through times like these. If you or someone you love is experiencing the pain of loss, there are at least a thousand books on the topic. But here are my favorites:
♥️Brian Weiss: Through Time and Into Healing (any of his books)
♥️Signs The Secret Language of the Universe : by Laura Jackson
♥️Pema Chodron: When Things Fall Apart
♥️Journey of Souls : by Michael Newton
If you have a book that really helped you through grief, please do share below for a friend that may be searching.
Continued prayers for my friends through this painful time. I trust that love will hold their family together and soothe their grieving hearts.
