You are not alone.  How could you be when you are not only human?  You are Consciousness in expression as a human in a body for a while.  Bodies can be separated from one another, but Consciousness cannot.  You share one Mind, one energetic Heart, and where there is no separation, this, you may call Love.  This is why those who have passed are as near as your heart.  Their thoughts as well as yours arise from the one Mind of Consciousness and the one shared Heart.  What you call “yours” belongs to one I AM.  Come to understand this and you will finally, once again know freedom, even whilst the body holds you temporarily in bondage.  The mind and heart are always free and never die. 

You are so very loved.
