I was talking to a friend about the notion of death recently and we talked about how death happens in many forms before the final death (when we exit our body). There are so many moments of individual loss happening on all levels right now and happening collectively. We must find the balance in honouring our sadness and grief but also knowing that it is because we love so deeply that we hurt so deeply. What if loss was a teaching directly from love?
I unexpectedly lost a close friend, soul brother, and spiritual mentor last year and it’s taught me so much about grief, loss, and love in a short space of time. I also recognise that the ending of something is also the beginning of something else. In this instance it deepened my relationship with him in a new way. In other instances (where I’ve let go of an old identity etc), it’s taught me to create the space for some new magic to emerge

I am so sorry for your loss. This is so well said. Thank you.
So glad you are digging Lost & Found :)
I can't wait to talk about it with you!
