I Know the Afterlife Is Real and It Doesn’t Help My Grief
Psychic abilities don’t solve everything.
There’s no way to deny it. When someone you deeply love dies, they’re “gone” in some sense. They’re no longer on the Earth plane, but you are. Why? You won’t be able to stop asking this. Why are you still here and they’re not?
I have traveled to the other side in dreams. I know death isn’t the end. It’s a transition. But I’m still here, so the knowledge of the truth helps just a little — the reality is that I am stuck here. And I don’t know why. Just because I know souls don’t die doesn’t mean I have all the answers. It doesn’t mean I don’t feel the deepest pain.
Separation Is Still The Thing
It’s perhaps just as painful to know that my love is “over there” and continues to exist as it would be if I thought they were gone forever. We are separated. As much as I know that separation is an illusion and that this waking life is just one manifestation of reality, it doesn’t alleviate the pain I feel. No matter how many truths I tell myself about this reality versus “soul reality”, there is still sadness.
That’s what it means to be human.
