Having just had another death in the family,the idea of souls reuniting is very comforting. Thank you Carol
Hi Carol! I certainly believe this is true but that doesn’t mean it is always the easiest to remember–especially when it is happening to me! But if we can remember it and apply it on a regular basis, we can find the peace we all seek when the time comes. Thanks for the reminder! ~Kathy
This is a good reminder. It can still be difficult to know a chapter you weren’t ready to finish has ended.
I really enjoy your posts. They always touch my heart in one way or another. I had to listen to my soul and close a very heavy door in my life a few years back. AT the time it was very hard, but I’m so much better for it now.
Although it’s a closed chapter, I believe the memories keep it going because that will never die. When I get sad and miss people, I try to talk out loud about memories that would make me laugh or smile, even if there are tears.
It sure does hurt to have to close some books, but thankfully we’ll always have the chapters in memory form to help us remember the best parts of the story.
I lost one of my favorite Uncles this year. I still cant believe he is gone but I know he is in a better place the chapter will continue in another dimension.
This is a very sweet way of looking at life. I like the idea of these things just being chapters in a grand story.
That is a good way to look at life. And I agree, we really do know when its time.
True words!But pain bows down to no one, not even the truth.
I’ve never experienced the loss of a loved one but I know it’ll come sooner than later and these words that i’ll keep in the back of my mind that I hope will help.
In the face of death the soul seeks comfort.But we always cherish the memories we have.
I’ve always liked the idea of thinking of life as a book. When one chapter ends, another begins. If you are having a rough time, then just know that chapter will eventually end and another will start.
Sounds like such a great resource for those suffering with grief. it can be so hard to comfort a grieving loved one, but this is a nice way to offer support.
Really great post especially since I just finished a seminar today. One of the main questions asked was “what is the next chapter of your life.” Awesome!
That’s one way to look at it. I love that you mentioned about how we are meant to teach others or even ourselves. That’s a beautiful purpose.
What a beautiful analogy. I think it’s a lovely way to look at out soul. It’s good motivation to keep enriching it, with experience, with lessons, with love.
Time will take away some of the pain, at least for me that’s how it is. Thanks for the reminder that the soul of a lost loved one still goes on.
Very well written post. Short but very meaningful. It is true that losing a loved one is a painful experience but and as much as we would want to hold on to that chapter, we have to accept reality and end that chapter so healing can take place.
I love this post. I love to remember the good times and memories I’ve had with loved ones who are no longer with us either.
Thanks for another inspiring post. I believe that is so true, “The soul knows when to close a chapter.” No one can tell us when to stop grieving for a lost loved one. It is a healing process that is unique to each individual and only the soul can tell us when we are ready to accept the loss.
Death is such a difficult thing for people to come to grips with. Whether they are spiritual and believe in an afterlife or are not spiritual and believe in nothing, it is hard to deal with loss. The absence of presence can be a very real and intense pain.
What a beautiful post! I love reading your spiritual quotes and feeling so uplifted by them!
I love this way of thinking about it, Carol!
XOXO
Having lost my dad a few years ago, this really resonated with me. I want to believe that death is just another chapter. Its so had to know. I want to believe I’ll see my wonderful father again someday. Here’s hoping…
This. This is my faith, that one day our souls will reunite.
