In this video, we explore grief, loss, and the deep experience of missing someone you love. Rather than seeing grief only as pain, this video offers a perspective of grief as love. As a reflection of deep connection, tenderness, and the longing to return Home to yourself and to Source. You are invited to allow grief to be present gently and safely, without needing to fix or suppress it. Through awareness and softness, grief can slowly become part of a deeper healing journey and reconnection to yourself. This video emerged from a question that came up during a live Q&A session. You are very welcome to join these sessions each month. I truly love co-creating together in this way.

Transcript

Hi,

So welcome to this video.

In this video I would like to respond to a question that came up during our first live Q&A session we did.

And it's all about grief,

Loss and deeply missing someone you love.

If you are currently moving through grief or loss in your own life,

I hope this video can offer a little softness,

Support and remembrance.

Please take what resonates for you and leave the rest.

Someone in that session shared that they'd been dealing with grief for several years and recently experienced another loss.

And even though spiritually they could understand that life unfolds within a greater plan,

The physical missing of the person felt so,

So difficult.

And I can really feel it.

Yeah,

Oh this missing,

This grief,

It is so deeply human.

It's really enticed in the physicality of being here,

Being able to touch someone,

To speak to someone,

To feel someone around you,

Being physically present in this 3D reality in your life.

And when that physical presence disappears,

Well something inside of us aches so very deeply.

Later on after the session I was tuning into it again and I could feel the energy more deeply.

And something came through very clearly for me.

Grief is actually love,

Deep,

Deep love.

It's the pain of missing someone and that pain reflects how deeply we love them,

How deeply connected we felt to them.

I still feel like it.

And at the same time,

This also,

This grief also touches something even deeper within ourselves,

I feel.

Because,

You must know,

On this planet,

I guess everyone on some level,

Consciously or unconsciously,

We all as human beings are carrying a deep sense of separation within ourselves.

It's the deep,

Deep separation from Source,

The separation from our true Divine Essence and nature.

It's the separation from ourselves,

Our Divine Selves and our Divine Parents,

Our Creator.

It's almost like a collective frequency within humanity has been there for so,

So long.

And I feel that the frequency of grief really touches this energy and frequency in the collective.

And that touching opens this space inside of us.

So this,

In your own human life,

Experience of loss is also pointing us to help us to relieve,

Release and heal what has been disconnected and hidden for so long within ourselves.

And in a strange way,

It's like we made a contract with this other person to touch us so deeply,

So that we ourselves can come in contact with that layer and that frequency of separation within ourselves in order to heal it.

So it's the contract that made that the other person,

Well,

Went into another form earlier than you so you could really touch that part within you.

How painful it even is,

Right?

I'm not diminishing anything of that.

But this feeling is inviting us to come home again,

To really acknowledge this longing for home within ourselves.

It is the longing for home,

Home to love,

Home to source.

And even though grief can feel unbearably heavy at times,

I also believe it can become part of a beautiful healing journey.

Healing by really allowing it to be there,

The feeling,

The uncomfortable feeling,

Allowing the energy to be felt within you and to let it give you the message it wants to give you.

Feel it slowly,

Gently,

Safely within yourself.

Grief wants to be felt.

The love you felt for that person wants to be felt.

Yeah,

And then I guess you will find out at one point that underneath that grief,

There is also that part in us that wants to be held,

That younger part,

That human part.

Yeah,

So if you are moving through grief right now,

Please be very gentle with yourself.

You are on your path.

You are doing profound work in healing yourself.

And you feel deeply.

And that's your true gift,

Even though it feels so uncomfortable.

Apparently,

Your energetic container is big enough to hold it.

So I know you got this.

Allow yourself for the energy to just be there and know that you are not alone in this.

Even on those moments where someone is no longer physically there,

Love itself does not disappear.

The connection does not disappear.

Energy,

Consciousness does not disappear.

And sometimes,

I know,

When we become still enough,

We can still feel the presence,

The consciousness,

The love in a different way,

But maybe in an even more profound and deeper way.

I hope you can feel it.

Thank you so much for being here with me.

And to everyone moving through grief or loss right now,

I'm sending you so much love.

Please be soft with yourself.

Allow yourself to feel what needs to be felt.

And remember that this healing process is never a straight line.

You are on your path.

Please take care.

And I'd love to see you in the next video.
