BLOG #29 - PEACE & GRIEF

 
PEACE and GRIEF
 
How does one equate Peace and Grief?
 
This morning (7/23/24) one of the sweetest souls on this planet moved out of body to the other side.  She was/is my step daughter by marriage and friend by deep connection.  At 58 years of age Wendy Copeland Schwartz made her transition with most of her family around her.  Her two sisters, Deeana and Wendy, husband Jon, mother Anne and her nieces and Jon’s children were there by her side.  The eldest, Deeana, kept me informed by text and they all knew I was there in spirit.  I’ve sensed Wendy transitioning since Sunday and know that she was. and is, at peace.
 
Peace, there’s that word that I use so often.  Let me explain how I equate peace and grief. I’ve believed for many decades now that when we leave the body our Soul moves on.  Where the Soul moves on to is a subject of debate but in my consciousness, it is to another level, another plane.  I have had many experiences of communicating with loved ones sometimes directly and mostly through friends and colleagues who are mediums.  When my mother crossed over many years ago I was in meditation when I saw her leave her body. What I saw was her snapping her fingers and saying “Karen was right”, referring to the many times I spoke to her about something ‘more’ and her always saying, she’d like to believe that but didn’t quite.. not until then.  It’s experiences like that (although that was the most visual and dramatic so far) I became aware that we have the ability to keep in touch if wanted or needed.  This knowledge has also helped me let go.  I may grieve for a short time but that grief is for the loss of that person in the physical and our earthly contact.  Deep in my Soul, I know my mother and father, Wendy, my friend Chris Salvador who transitioned suddenly a few weeks ago, the several friends that I ‘lost’ over the past few years are doing well and moving on in the direction that is best for them.  I even learned recently that a childhood friend has been helping me with my next book.  I hadn’t thought of her in decades and suddenly she came to mind. When I asked a medium friend of mine to contact her, she came through saying yes, she’s been around, assisting me and helping the Angels, help me with the upcoming Let’s Be Peace book.  I can’t make this stuff up!
 
Back to Peace and Grief.  I Am at Peace. I know each of us on this side grieve in our own ways and that is as it should be.  If I can give some advice to someone who has ‘lost’ a loved one, it’s similar to the tools and techniques I suggest for being Peace inside.  Go in, breathe deeply and get in touch with who you really are. That person knows their loved one is only a thought away and is in a place of their greatest and highest good.
 
Thank You Wendy for helping me bring forward the subject of grief and Peace and for being such a bright light in my and so many other’s lives.
