“We lost not only through death, but also by leaving and being left, by changing and letting go and moving on. And our losses include not only our separations and departures from those we love, but our conscious and unconscious losses of romantic dreams, impossible expectations, illusions of freedom and power, illusions of safety -- and the loss of our own younger self, the self that thought it would always be unwrinkled and invulnerable and immortal.” SelfDreamMovingLostLeftLossImpossibleLetting GoIllusionExpectationsConsciousSafetyLeavingSeparationUnconsciousImmortalDepartureThose We LoveLetting Go And Moving OnConscious And UnconsciousYounger SelfIllusion Of Freedom Author:Judith Viorst
“Of all the ills that circumstance forces upon man, separation from a beloved object is, perhaps, the most salutary. Separation is the crucible wherein love undergoes the test absolute; in the fire of loss, grief softens to indifference or hardens to enduring need.” MenNeedsForceLossGriefFireObjectsCircumstancesTestsAbsolutesEndureAbsenceSeparationBelovedIndifferenceCrucibleGrief Loss Book:Max Source: Max
“It is abundantly evident that, however natural it may be for us to feel sorrow at the death of our relatives, that sorrow is an error and an evil, and we ought to overcome it. There is no need to sorrow for them, for they have passed into a far wider and happier life. If we sorrow for our own fancied separation from them, we are in the first place weeping over an illusion, for in truth they are not separated from us; and secondly, we are acting selfishly, because we are thinking more of our own apparent loss than of their great and real gain.” IfsThinkingNeedsFeelsFirstsMayRealDeathEvilNaturalLossActingOughtSorrowIllusionGainsOvercomingErrorsSeparationEvidentWeepingHappier Life Author:Charles Webster Leadbeater

“Anyone with a heart, with a family, has experienced loss. No one escapes unscathed.

“Going back to my mother's passing, there was no way I could hold back my tears or sense of grief at knowing her physical presence left the planet. Working consciously with such an in-my-face overwhelmingly painful loss, I was able to process it to the point of accepting that although my relationship with her would be different, I could still sense and celebrate that there was no separation between our spirits. Being present and open to each stage of grief eventually led to her visiting me in my dreams and a tangible sense of her presence.” WayStillsDifferentDreamWould BeAbleFacesSpiritMotherLeftProcessLossGriefAcceptingKnowingStageTearsPlanetsPainfulSeparationPassingPassingsCelebrateTangibleVisitingStages Of Grief Author:Michael Beckwith
