Routinely, as a professional, I do not bring my own personal experience into the equation when I offer counsel or advice to others; even though my life is definitely influenced by the knowledge and expertise I have gained in the psychological field.

However, in relationship loss I have found that what has helped me personally and many others I have known both personally and professionally is a spiritual foundation.

Not everyone practices spirituality in the same way.

Religions profess faith in the same God in different ways, and sometimes wars result from these perceived differences, usually involving the religious ‘right’ to land occupation.

For many, experiencing the connectedness in nature of all living things, and the energy existing in everything inanimate as well as animate is spirituality.

For others, the worship of God, an intelligent energy force and creator of the universe is spirituality.

And some have discovered that God is love; the energy of truth in its purest form.

Whether or not one belongs to a specific religion, or denomination within a religious sect, will probably influence how one heals when the loss of a loved one and relationship is involved.

For me, being Christian means I have faith that the trinity of God the father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit will all guide and heal me in difficult times of loss.

Whether or not I listen and follow the indwelling spirit is still my choice; my free will.

When I do listen to this inner intuitive voice I find an inner peace follows with the joy of knowing I am loved spiritually, even though I have no earthly companion to love me in the physical sense.

Being in nature surrounded by all of creation grounds me and fills me with peace in the knowledge that I am part of all that is.

Dealing with losses in life can definitely be made easier with a spiritual belief.

The feeling that we are not alone and that everything seen and unseen is connected even though not understood brings a sense of inner peace and love that is a healing force during all of life’s adversity.
