Friends, I have been thinking, observing and listening to the essence of people’s grief. Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.
Sometimes we forget just how much people can carry behind a smile, and how easy it is to say, “I’m fine,” when actually we’re anything but. How do we battle against all odds to keep fighting, carry the light with us and keep breathing?
I also want to remember those who have lost someone to su***de. The grief can bring sadness, anger, guilt, confusion and so many unanswered questions. Please be gentle with yourself. There is no right way to grieve, and no timetable for healing.
From a spiritual point of view, I believe we are so much more than this physical body. Our spirit lives on. We are consciousness, we are spirit, and our journey is greater than the life we can see with our eyes here on Earth.
But that doesn't mean we should ever underestimate the importance of the life we’re living now. The memories we build, the love we share and the connections we make are precious.
One thing I have always felt strongly about in spiritualism is the importance of love, connection and simply being present for another person.
We don't always need the right words.
Sometimes just sitting with someone, listening without judgement, or sending a simple message saying, “I’m thinking of you,” can make more difference than we will ever know.
And if you’re struggling yourself, or grieving someone you have lost, please don't feel you have to carry it alone.
There is no weakness in saying, “I’m not okay.”
Sometimes that small admission is where things begin to change.
Whatever you believe about what comes after this life, I believe this life is precious. Your story is still being written, even when you can’t see where the next page is going.
So today, let’s look after each other a little more.
If this reaches someone who needs to hear it, please stay. Talk to someone. Reach out. Give tomorrow a chance.
Sending love, compassion and healing hugs. Mr P 💙🙏💙
