Since the year 2000, on the last week of every year I go into deep prayer and meditation wishing the best for the next year. I make one or two main goals and celebrate the goals I have accomplished at the end of year. Last year during my prayer and meditation for 2011, I received a intuitive message that made me cry. The message was I was going to lose someone close to me, as well as those close to me would too, would lose someone close to them. I realized that was definetely going to be a big challenge for me. For me to lose someone or even being the support for someone else would be a challenge. I haven't lost anyone close to me since the Wedgewood shooting. And before that, I lost an old friend I went to school with. But I have never lost anyone close to me in my family. One of my best friends lost her client she had seen weekly in the month of January. I lost my grandpa on my birthday in March. My niece lost her grandfather on her birthday in June. Another friend of mine lost her father this past week. It has definetely been a challenging year for those close to me. In my heart I know those we have lost are in beautiful place full of love and happiness. But that doesn't mean we don't have pain or crave their physical presence to hug them. I do not forget the many blessings I am fortunate to have celebrated this year. A family quince for my daughter and niece in June. Next weekend I celebrate my only son who turns 14. And I will be blessed to celebrate the birth of my niece who is expected to be here this summer. Life goes on. Keep celebrating life. And we take those we have loved in our hearts, carry them with us until it is our time to reunite with them. We have five months left of this year, lets us make the best of 2011!
The card above symbolizes the best of life after passing. Its validation that those who have moved on are alive and well. In the past, I have read a spiritual book on death. It states, "Here on earth we come together to mourn a loss. But in Heaven, there is a big celebration of reuniting. For their precious loved one has returned home from their journey."
