lost & found

Have you ever had the scary moment when you thought you lost your child in a store? This just happened to a Mom last week when I was out shopping. She was calling out her boy’s name with him nowhere in sight. A few minutes later I was in another part of the store and I saw an employee walking a tiny boy who looked lost. I then told her where the mom was so they could be reunited. It reminded me of the time when my son was a little boy and he got separated from us on a very crowded beach and I completely panicked. Luckily, I had just told him that morning that if we ever got separated, to go to the lifeguard for help, which he did. We found him a ways down the beach, but in those moments of separation, I surely was terrified. When our loved ones pass, they get separated from us. It makes us panic wondering where they are. Just as you would run up and down every aisle screaming out their name if they were lost in the store, we need to do that now as well. We need to search for them now even more than ever to find them in Spirit. We do everything in our power to feel a continued connection with them so we can know they are safe and alright. Once we do come to find them again, in all the mystical, magical ways that they can connect to us, it helps to soften the pain of our separation anxiety. In truth, they are far from lost. We are, until we find the greater truth that death is an illusion and our loved ones are not lost at all.
