Hi Lucy,
I am sorry for you loss and glad you managed to release some of the pain of the loss now.
I wouldliketo share an experience I had with bereavement.
When my brother in law died, we were all by his bedside at the time, and it was a very intense and emotional time. I felt waves of emotion coming up just like the rest of my family, but i softened and flowed the energies as they rose and released them. The result for me was that my experience of this time was sacred graceful and loving, which allowed me to hold that energyfor my family.
Interestingly, the next day, while everyone was still emotional, and upset....I was done. I was completely ok, as if it was 6 months later. I found this a most profound and remarkable expeience.
So though you may have to go gently and intelligently with people with your desire to help them through such times, it is absolutely possible to transform even this kind of intense experience, in the moment, or afterwards, to reach the space of peace and acceptance and love. This was not a very close relationship for me, but it was still significant and it taught me alot. I dont doubt for amoment that a losing closer relationship would be a much bigger energy to handle, but still handleable nevertheless.
Sandra
