Perhaps it is not about you at all but about the child gone before you. Perhaps the soul lesson is their own. The path, one to advance their own development. Perhaps maybe you were chosen to love them without condition and to help them with this leg of their journey because you held the qualities and the soul of a warrior.
Perhaps, though it did not feel so, you were strong enough to let them go before you, to allow them to move on. Perhaps you were divinely placed to fill a role so sacred as to teach earthly lessons to a soul more advanced than yourself.
Perhaps you were led to live out a life beyond the loss learning to understand that love is much more than what exists here within the confines of our bodies. Perhaps now, beyond the loss, you have done a miraculous service for another soul who loves you and thanks you for what you have done.
Perhaps….
Thank you SO MUCH for these beautiful words and another perspective on what at first seems an insurmountable tragedy!!! xoxoxo
Hi Susan, I am so glad that the words resonated with you. I believe, like you, that it is a tragedy that can feel insurmountable. Some days, more than others. There is none like it. I am also glad that you are here and that together, it is easier than alone. Big hugs your way.
