Grief- lettre to Claude, my friend, my husband

[sebbe]

A living thought for you, Lydia.

Oh that is such a beautiful letter, very touching. I have tears reading that too.
Claude feels so gentle and kind, you look very happy together. He has a beautiful smile - you do too!

I love what you inscribed on his beautiful azure stone...
and the tenderness of your words to Claude...
and that such a beautiful tree led you to your sweet home that held you both, witnessing your highs and lows and all the in-betweens.

Claude loves you, and you love him - no matter what challenges there may have been between you at times. Challenge is normal and honestly I think it is healthy to have this at times, it means you are being honest with yourselves and one another; if you are paying attention to the friction and deeper wounds, you grow in knowledge of self and other. He was a teacher for you in many ways, and you for him. Although he is not physically here now, the lessons continue to flow, but in different forms.

I have no doubt whatsoever that when it is your time, Claude will be there to embrace you: shining from the inside out and smiling his beautiful smile and you will both laugh heartily at your 3D selves. For now, you both need time to rest, heal and each tentatively explore your new reality. I am glad you have your darling doggies, they would have known this was coming and would be doing all they can to be of gentle comfort to you.

Thank you for your words, they touched me deeply. Yes, we had some difficult times together, but despite everything, I stayed by his side, through thick and thin. All couples go through tough times, and I broke plates and cups, but we stayed together. The storms and tempests between us have seemingly vanished from my mind and heart, leaving only love and tenderness. Grief is a difficult stage, but dogs, who are great teachers, are a balm, bringing wisdom, comfort, and love. And there are books too, these great friends, and also prayer, where I pray for Claude and for myself, asking my guides to help me find my way. When someone you love has passed away, you feel lost in a vast forest. I ask my guides to lead me through this forest as gently as possible.

Thank you all for your prayers and your presence.
