Handling The Transition of a Life Partner: How To Go From Grief to Gratitude

The happiest marriage will one day end when one of you departs to return "home." We are all here on a temporary journey, but our religions don't often prepare us to accept the ending of the physical life experience of one we love. When what we have been taught is "death" is seen as some sort of punishment rather than the logical ending of a temporary experience, we can be consumed with feelings of grief, regret, guilt, sadness, and even thoughts of suicide. Today we want to help people through the process of going from grief to gratitude, by redefining what happens when we transition and how we can keep contact with those we love, because no one is ever truly gone, and no life is lost. It's time for us to evolve from religion to reality, from belief to knowing and experiencing the truth of eternal existence.
