When one you have known passes from your life it is
a shock.  You are so very used to having
their physical presence with you.  You
see, feel, and hear the effects of a physical body and equate this with the one
you know and love.  “I can’t believe they
no longer exist!” you think in this state of shock.  “How can they be here one minute and gone the
next?”  We wish you to know they are not
gone, and they most certainly exist. 
What is gone is the physical presence. 
Yes, this is a great loss, but we wish you to realize that the spirit of
that one is as near as your thoughts.

It is the human way to focus on the physical to the
exclusion of the spirit.  Where was and
is your greatest connection?  At the heart.  Were it not for that bond, all else would
lose its importance.  The body may be
gone, but the bond remains.  That bond
was always of the spirit, soul-to-soul, and that soul is still with you. 
Heaven is not a far off place.  It is as near as your heart.  You need only lessen your insistence and
focus on the physical aspects and learn to shift your awareness to the
spirit.  You are That now.  Go to the heart and connect.  Have a conversation soul-to-soul.  The one who has passed will rejoice.  “Finally, she knows!  Finally, he knows!  I am here, and I love you.”
The soul is eternal.  The body is not.  Miss the physical presence as you will, but
realize the truth:  Love lasts forever.
