Monday Morning Thoughts…
Today’s post is inspired by a beautiful conversation I had with my mother last night. Seeing the light isn’t always easy. In fact, sometimes it’s very hard. There are situations and experiences we go through in life that truly cannot be explained nor pondered. At that point we need to try our absolute hardest to always see the light instead of trying to figure things out. Our thoughts always create our reality.
Over the course of the last few years our family has endured loss after loss. Unexpected and tragic. Loss is one of the hardest things in life one will ever go through. Grief is different for everyone. What one may feel may look very different than the other.
The first sign I received from my Dad. I heard him say “Look up”. There he was giving me a kiss on my head.
Sometimes it cannot be explained. Sometimes we just need to have faith, especially when loved ones are taken from us unexpectedly. I will never forget the first time I lost someone really close to me. My grandfather, the rock of our family. I was so very close to him. He truly was everything to me. Losing him was so tragic. He went into the hospital and never came home. I was in my 30’s when I lost him. I really was not that young, however, it was the first time I experienced that kind of pain and a pain in my heart I will never forget. It does not matter our age. Losing someone is difficult. At one point I lost all faith in life. I was constantly questioning, why? I even remember saying, “If there is really a god up there why did you take my grandfather from me? I am not saying that is truly what I believed. It crossed my mind though. Many things go through our minds. Do not feel guilty about your thoughts during the thought process when grieving. You are grieving. It is probably one of the hardest things someone will ever go through in their life. Take your time. Although time will not heal all wounds, give yourself time to grieve. Let your thoughts, feelings and emotions run it’s course. One day you may feel great and find yourself laughing at all the beautiful memories and the next day you are barely able to get out of bed. It is okay. It is certainly okay to not be okay. Reach out to someone you can talk to. Share memories. Cry. Smile. Laugh. Feel all your emotions and let go of the fear you feel inside letting those emotions come through.
I know many of you have lost loved ones in the past and this past year. I lost my Dad on April 7th, 2020. Unexpected and tragic. He gave me the strength to find myself and who I really am in this world. On January 6, 2018, my children lost their father. He was only 41. I cannot help but put some light in the perspective in thinking how much time I had with my Dad and how much time they had with theirs. It does not make the loss easier it just makes us look at things with a different perspective. We have to cherish every moment with our loved ones and never take anything for granted. Our perception and our thoughts will create what we invite into our realty. If we look at life in a different perspective and come to understand that we need to always try and see the light even in our darkest moments, those moments will not seem dark forever. Darkness leads us to light.
Time going by doesn’t make it easier, it’s more time we have to learn how to embrace all those signs knowing their soul has never left. I will never forget the first sign I received from my Dad(there is a picture above). It will stick with me, always. It is something he gave me that day to remember and cherish, always. They come to us in our dream state, sometimes when we are in a place that reminds us of them and sometimes they will give us beautiful signs to see. Cardinals are one of the most common signs a loved one will give us. Always remember, “When you see a cardinal, an angel is near”. I want you to know that they are always guiding you to see the light. Our loved ones leave physically, however, they are still always here with us. Learning to see and feel the signs they give us makes everything seem and feel so much better. There is always that question in our mind that leaves us wondering; Was that really him/her? Don’t question it. Yes, it was. So, how do we know? All I can say is just follow your intuition and let that first feeling that you get be your answer and just go with it. We are constantly being guided by our angels. They are always near, giving us signs, talking to us and letting us know they are near. My hope is that everyone sees the light knowing that our loved ones are by our side trying their hardest to help us see. They are and forever will be your guiding light, our guardian angels. Talk to them, feel their presence and open your heart. An open heart is very important. Our soul, our heart is what leads us to the higher version of ourselves and once we can lead with an open heart the possibilities are infinite! Let the light shine in. There are going to be dark days. There are going to be days where you may be in a constant question and struggle. There are, and I truly hope you are able to see that there are also days and times in our life that would not have happened if we didn’t see the dark first.
Love, Light, and many blessings. I love you.
