Losing a loved one...

[MonadicSpectrum]

Thanks for sharing your experiences, aWanderer91. It's never easy transitioning to a new way of being when those we love leave us physically.

I've found it helpful to view the experience of losing a loved one as an opportunity to develop faith that we will one day meet again, hope that they have moved onto better experiences, and love for the memories we created together in this life. It's also helpful for learning to access memories and find that those we care about will always be contained within us. There is also space that is created in our lives during this transition that is able to be filled with new people and new joyful experiences that one can look forward to.

I find this Ra quote helpful for understanding that emotional pain is not the only option for processing this catalyst although it is perhaps the most common on this planet. But it's always easier said than done, but I would just encourage you not to give up in transmuting the experience into joy and appreciation.

We observed your interest in the catalyst of pain. This experience is most common among your entities. The pain may be of the physical complex. More often it is of the mental and emotional complex. In some few cases the pain is spiritual in complex-nature. This creates a potential for learning. The lessons to be learned vary. Almost always these lessons include patience, tolerance, and the ability for the light touch.

Very often the catalyst for emotional pain, whether it be the death of the physical complex of one other-self which is loved or some other seeming loss, will simply result in the opposite, in a bitterness, an impatience, a souring. This is catalyst which has gone awry. In these cases, then, there will be additional catalyst provided to offer the unmanifested self further opportunities for discovering the self as all-sufficient Creator containing all that there is and full of joy.

I also enjoy this song about the importance of holding on to memories of those we've lost and how they can live on within us:
