I agreed to do the story because it was an opportunity to send out a bit of hope and speak about love, healing, gratitude, family and all that keeps us going through this challenging time (you know it’s my favorite topic!)
I spoke about how it’s not (just) romantic love that heals, but the Infinite Divine Love that is within & around, above & beneath and on each side of us (of course, my message was framed in a bit of a different way in the media, as is often the case 😉 ).
I felt so sad. Not for the woman who wrote to me – I don’t believe her heart is really closed, otherwise she wouldn’t have written to me.
She explained that she was a widow too and has chosen to live from the memories of the past. She said she was waiting to be reunited with her husband some day in heaven.
I sensed sadness of how much she missed her late husband (and it triggered my own ache from losing Matthew) and I sent a prayer her way.
We are all on different paths, and I trust that Love is healing the woman in her own way. Just like Love has been healing me in a way that’s been good for me.
What made me sad, though, was the concept of ‘my heart is closed’. When this becomes someone’s belief, it can cause the very separation from Love.
And feeling separated from the Divine Love is awful.
I remember this separation as feeling incredibly lonely, scared, abandoned, ashamed, rejected, invisible, devastated, depressed…
I don’t ever want to experience the ‘separation’ again…
