A Poem For The Survivors

[Cheryl Nelson]

Most likely, many of us will lose loved ones in the coming events. Grief
can be overwhelming. Remember, however, that time can heal many wounds.

tears

tears will diminish
every day
for the rest of your days
only to rain
when you least expect it

tears will grow sweeter
aging with time
like mellow wine
warming your heart
when you least expect it

tears will disappear
from memory's view
like morning dew
kissed by the sun
and you'll never miss it

but one day you'll realize
the rain moved on
beyond the soft dawn
of another day
and you can accept it

Edina, the Zetas give hope about losing touch with family: "We have often stated that those heavily into the Service-to-Other orientation will be assisted, most often sight unseen, by guides in the Aftertime. This will include assistance in reuniting separated loved ones, if only via visits as contactees on space ships, for reassurance or closure, but often also as guided migration, to help the heart find what it seeks."

Yes, MaryAnn, I wrote it.

When I was 22 years old I lost the first person I fell in love with unexpectedly, I grieved the loss in the way I had heard the Native Americans did, I didn't cut off my fingers or anything, but I let myself feel it, for 3 days I stayed home and grieved. I think my co-workers were concerned for me. One of them came to see me during this time and she said something similar to this poem. She had lost a child, so she understood grief and loss. She told me that in that moment what she said would not seem helpful, but she felt in time I would find it helpful. She said that time does truly heal. Then she left. Once you live through something like this, it make sense. Later, I lost my daughter, enormously traumatic. Sometimes, you really can feel as if you do not want to live. I went to bed hoping I wouldn't have to wake up in the morning, the felt sense of loss was huge. But, of course, you do have to wake up in the morning. And life continues, whether you want it to, or not. It sounds so cliche, but time does heal. The earlier event in my life helped with the latter. I had already had the experience of knowing how time affects the pain of our grief. And it is truly appreciation of the small moments in life, the tiny beauties that begin to touch our hearts and quicken us to living again. When I think of my daughter now, I think of the good times we had, I feel sadness at the loss, but I can appreciate the goodness of the life I have shared with her.
The hardest part for most people in the Pole Shift, will be that we do not know what has happened to our loved ones. We don't know if they suffer, if they moved on. The ambiguity of not knowing is very difficult, very stressful. I find that accepting this from the outset is helpful, and remembering to be present to the beauty of the moment helps, too. There is a saying, it may be Apache, Comanche or Navajo, I can't remember, during a very dark time among their people, they were all losing their way, losing their balance, they regained their balance by remembering to appreciate beauty, the saying goes like this, "May beauty walk with you." Beauty is one of my nicknames for my daughter.
