A spiritual viewpoint on grief
Grief is a normal human condition and i believe that at the time of passing everyone should allow themselves to grieve and there is no right length of time to mourn. I know for myself that certain things like songs for instance on the radio or aromas, will acutely remind me of friends and loved ones who have passed over. I feel we have to remind ourselves constantly that all our loved ones who have passed to spirit are living their lives on a higher plane and we have to carry on with ours. It helps to consider this: "Maybe it's our duty to carry on so we can live the earthly experiences not just for ourselves but for our departed loved ones who can share our earthly joys and events through our connection with them".
If im having a lovely time, i will think of my loved ones and how they would really love this experience and at these times i feel their continuing connection to my life here on earth.
Sometimes when we grieve too much or do not grieve fully, we create a heavy barrier around us and our loved ones find it difficult to break through this. It is important to go through the grieving process fully, as quickly as possible but because we are all different and deal with grief in different ways, there is no fixed pattern or length of time to the grieving process.
I can only speak from my own experiences and my experience is that having gone through the grieving experience and released so much negativity in the process, one can actually feel closer to those you have lost.
Also our loved ones who have passed over, do continue to play a part in our lives. The pain and release of negativity through our loss, is an important part of our own spiritual growth. For without it we wouldn't become more compassionate, loving, kind understanding, stronger, more positive, or spiritual in our thinking. "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, We are spiritual beings having a human experience".
