Grief

I understand that losing something is an opportunity to appreciate it

Nothing is gone forever. The belief that we have “lost” someone or something is merely and illusion to assist us in learning to appreciate our having had it in the first place. The emotion of grief and the sense of loss are absolutely real –   but that is the pint. The lesson of loss is not about the actual physical separation, because the parting is temporary and illusory. The point of the lesson is to acknowledge that the bonds of love never end and that we have not been abandoned.

When you accept in your heart that you will be reunited with everything you have ever loved, it will give you the ability to move beyond your grief and derive something beneficial from the experience. To wallow in grief is to pass up the opportunity that you and your soul family have devised and learn nothing from it. Instead, allow your grief to take you to a place of deeper understanding.
