Today, in addition to the sadness of September 11th for us Americans, it marks another month of my most loved one departing to God. And, I am here pondering, where is the root of my deep suffering. In this moment I came to the realization that we assume our dear ones will live forever. And, they do only not in this earthly plane, but in the spiritual plane. The key is acceptance. I wish for all of us to have the knowing that they live on, and we will be reunited when it is our time. So, when resistance comes up to make us suffer more, visualize:

When the same painful thought keeps playing in our mind like a broken record, either say to yourself STOP, or picture a STOP SIGN. And, either replace it with a good memory of your loved one, or simply take one, or two deep breath. So when a thought creates constant pain and suffering remember to:

Dear God:

I ask for the miracle to someday remember how fortunate I am to have had such a wonderful soul in my life, to bid farewell to the pain and sorrow, and make space for Love and Gratitude. For I know deep in my soul that my loved me is HOME, and when You determine that it is my time we shall be reunited for All Eternity.

Amen

“Grief can destroy you --or focus you. You can decide a relationship was all for nothing if it had to end in death, and you alone. OR you can realize that every moment of it had more meaning than you dared to recognize at the time, so much meaning it scared you, so you just lived, just took for granted the love and laughter of each day, and didn't allow yourself to consider the sacredness of it. But when it's over and you're alone, you begin to see that it wasn't just a movie and a dinner together, not just watching sunsets together, not just scrubbing a floor or washing dishes together or worrying over a high electric bill. It was everything, it was the why of life, every event and precious moment of it. The answer to the mystery of existence is the love you shared sometimes so imperfectly, and when the loss wakes you to the deeper beauty of it, to the sanctity of it, you can't get off your knees for a long time, you're driven to your knees not by the weight of the loss but by gratitude for what preceded the loss. And the ache is always there, but one day not the emptiness, because to nurture the emptiness, to take solace in it, is to disrespect the gift of life.”

The Serenity Prayer

 

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change; 

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time; 

Enjoying one moment at a time; 

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; 

Taking, as He did, this world

as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right

if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with Him

Forever in the next.

Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuhr
