How do you make the shift from grief to love and inner peace after the death of your beloved pet?
If you have not already read my previous article, “It’s not about the grief, it’s about the love“, go read it first, and then come back here to continue your journey from grief to inner peace.
In this article I will share another simple thing you can do to help you more easily move through the grief. What you do is simply to imagine this:
What if it was you?
Try for a moment to imagine that you were the one who had died, and from the afterlife, from the beyond, you were the one looking at the beloved people or animals you had left behind. How would you want to see them? How would you want their life to be after you were gone?
Would you prefer to see the loved ones left behind:
a)
- stuck in grief
- sadness,
- hopelessness,
- despair,
- guilt,
- depression,
- only feeling the loss and emptiness,
- unable to find happiness, meaning and making a difference in the world?
Or would you want your loved ones
b)
- filled with love,
- gratitude,
- inner peace,
- inspiration –
- remembering with fondness and joy the love and life you had together,
- and using that love and the lessons learned to make a difference in the world, and helping someone in need like you helped each other?
Try it now!
Change your perspective and change your life
How does it make you feel, imagining yourself being in the afterlife or heaven and seeing your loved ones left behind in each of these two scenarios?
If you have until now been overwhelmed with grief and heartbreak after pet loss, then this simple exercise will help you get a glimpse of what is possible. Hold on to that glimpse, to that little light in the darkness, and let that help you transform your grief into inner peace and inspiration..
