So tonight my Mom called me from home (I live in a different country, far away from my family) to let me know that my Grandmother is dying. Doctors aren't sure when; just that it's imminent. Itβs not a surprise β she has been in the very advanced stages of dementia for 12 months now, and I have been very lucky to have travelled home twice in the last year to visit her. Nevertheless I am so completely shattered and beyond heartbroken. I love her so much and I donβt want her to go.
Iβm trying to look at the positive, which is that Iβll be happy for her to finally be free of her physical body and suffering. But itβs still hard for me to accept, and the fact that Iβve missed out on most of the last decade of her life by being on the other side of the planet from her, makes it even more difficult. I will travel home for the funeral but it's fairly certain that I won't see her before she passes away.
I have been listening to Abraham videos on death, perspective, transitioning to non-physical, etc. They are immensely helpful but Iβm still pretty raw right now (and sheβs not even gone yet ).Β I would so appreciate anyone sharing their experiences of coping and eventually returning to the vortex after the death of a loved one. Specifically Iβm interested in dealing with death from the Abe perspective; but any and all words of wisdom on getting through this would help me so much.
Thanks so much guys. Also, please go hug your family for me right now.Β

I'm so sorry you're going through this, I understand how hard it can be. I have griefs of deaths from years ago which can still affect me. I think the main thing is to do what you can to make yourself feel as good as possible.
You have the beauty of already knowing we are so much more than simply human bodies, we have souls and dimensions and a vast universe! Energy never dies it simply transforms and evolves.
It's ok to feel sad, I remember hearing an Abe talk and as they were talking about Jerry (he had recently passed) Esther still became choked up, because you have human emotions for a reason and it's a beautiful thing. I will try and find it or something similar for you.

So much death from people on this forum. Go back and read my posts about my grandfather, who recently passed. Hopefully they can help. If not, you're always welcome to PM me. I'm sending good vibes your way during this difficult time!

Sorry to read this JetPet. Abe really soothed me, and so did Anita Moorjani. I have a thread about her in LOA Books. My beautiful Mom battled cancer and she died before I knew anything about LOA. I think in a way it actually led me to where I am today. I understand it is quite a crippling experience initially, it utterly broke my heart. But it also granted me the gift of perspective. And the ability to love unconditionally. There is no other condition quite as imposing as death- there's absolutely nothing that can change that condition. But you have the opportunity to change your perspective about it. It's twofold. You come to understand that from your alignment, your loved one is absolutely still there. You can reach them. And they will show you, if you believe.. and if you allow it. It is a beautiful relief to feel the truth of source energy.. and to know that your loved one has completely re-emerged with pure positive energy. And that they are whole, complete, and aligned.
The other wonderful revelation you will make is that nothing is truly a big deal. Nothing is so bad or awful or enormous that you cannot tackle it. There is an incredible strength and grace that is born from the depths of grief and despair. It touches you profoundly, so that you will never again take certain things for granted. Gratitude, appreciation, unconditional love. What better time is there to practice these? Much love to you. π

Thanks so much Cherished, and I'm sorry you had to experience losing your mom. I'll definitely check out Anita's book - might even order one to be shipped to my mom! Even though I'm sad, I'm so happy for Gran that she'll be experiencing continuous pure perfect alignment now!
