Light and Loss

Our loved ones never leave us. They are always with us. The energy, attention, love, and care which they put into us can never be replaced — it added to our light and is always there. It is just now in a different form.

We are used to thinking of people in their material form, but what if we visualized them as a light which had the effect of increasing our own? That light can never be taken away, only built upon. It may dim at times in life when things seem dark, but it never fully extinguishes. What we must do then, is to share this light with others, so that the light that was given to us may grow beyond ourselves, the loss transcended to life again.
