It’s early here in California–I’ve been awake since 3 o’clock. I like the stillness of the early morning; there’s no pressure to do anything in the wee hours.
I had no plans to post this particular image this morning but it’s the one that jumped out at me. Many are grieving some sort of loss right and almost all are experiencing a sense of loss for the life we led many months ago.
Like so many, loss is not new to me. I began experiencing deep loss from a very young age, but I’ve learned and grown so much though through these heart-wrenching losses. There’s a rawness, an openness, and a vulnerability in deep loss that can be a beautiful invitation for the light to enter. When we are deeply grieving, the walls that block the light from our awareness sometimes come down as we don’t have the strength to hold them up.
I know we each must experience these things for ourselves but I’ve seen and experienced many inexplicable things. The one thing I can say is that what appears as loss isn’t really loss, and those we love don’t leave, like the proverbial butterfly, they just change outfits.

Such a sweet sentiment and one I needed to hear. I lost my Charlie (14 year old shih tzu) Sunday morning. It was very unexpected. I have been inconsolable since then. I am trying to figure out how to get through my days without him. He was my shadow for almost 14 years and now he is gone. I am so sad. I love your posts and look forward to them each day. Thank for listening.

Hi Peggy, I know sweetheart. He was and is your baby. Try to pay attention for signs that he’s still with you and don’t brush them off. I’ve had so many people and my little Boo communicate with me after they passed. I could communicate with my dad most clearly. He told me that he understood that I was sad but that it made it hard for me to hear him as this denied that he’s still with me. Does that make sense? Why would I be sad if he’s not gone? It’s difficult to describe. I will keep you in my thoughts. xo

Thank you for this beautiful comment from Princess today.
I lost the love of my life, an amazing man whom I had for nearly 60 years.
This helped so much, as I don’t always feel him near me. But he promised to always be with me.
