So
many wish to take their own lives when a loved one passes. So closely bonded are you that you feel as if
a part of you and in some cases the whole of you is gone. May it help in some way to know that they are
closer than your breath, as near as your thoughts, and most certainly connected
to your heart.
Now,
what of this use of free will in which you take your life into your own
hands? Do you not know that there is
remedial schooling and a sort of hospitalization for those who do this? You will remain segregated upon passing from
those you most wanted to be reunited with.
Yes, there will be visits, just as your loved one’s spirit visits you
now, but you reap what you sow on the other side as much as you do in this one. There are consequences for every action. The pain caused to those left behind is
commensurate with what you will feel upon realizing that your choice was far
from optimal.
Do
you know why you are still here and your loved one is not? Simply because you are here for your own soul’s
growth. You soul made this decision, and
you have yet more learning and loving to do.
The pain you feel is an indicator of this. Your loved ones on the other side are patient
now that they have the greater perspective.
To them your absence is only the blink of an eye. To you it seems an eternity, but you have all
of eternity to be together again.
Allow
Spirit to decide when you will be reunited again and enjoy a most blessed and
fruitful reunion. In the meantime,
breathe deeply often and pray, “Oh, Spirit, may I feel your presence. Tell me what I have to learn from this
time. Show me how I can grow and serve
as a result of this pain. I am so
grateful for the love we shared, that we continue to share, and will always
share.”
Love
is eternal, as is Life. You have a
Lifetime to be with your love. This is
but a parenthesis in eternity.
Note from Suzanne:
The last line, “A Parenthesis in Eternity,” is the title of an excellent
book by Joel Goldsmith that discusses the illusory boundaries we call birth and
death.
