Will you let me go? I hope so. I am torn between my love for you and my need to move on. You are in great pain and you cling to me for fear that if you do not you will disappear into a pool of darkness. You get glimpses of that darkness and you are afraid.
You see no point to your life without me but you are not looking hard enough. I was not your life, only a part of it. Before you loved me you lived and laughed and shared your love with others. You coped with the sorrows and joys of life and became who you were when I first met you.
We have had our joys and sorrow too and hopefully we grew stronger because of them and the fact that we shared them. I do not want you to dwell on the careless words you said or think that your anger may have made me love you less. Let go of the regrets and think only of the good times, the adventures and a love and life shared. It is the only way through this for you. If you focus on the things you regret you are blocking the love I send you. If you think of the happy times and remember me with a smile then you will be able to feel the love I still have for you. I will help you through this and rejoice with you when you reach the other side of grief.
But do not bind me so tightly to this place. I will not abandon you but I am anxious to explore this new world. It is truly a wondrous place. I feel only peace and love surround me. I am not dead. I am just somewhere else.
Let your remembrance of me lift you up, not tear you down. Know that I am with you always.

How insightful? The author so captured the love between two people that was and is but now in different directions. I felt and understood the underlying message. Expression such as this takes the reader into the world of these words.
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed LETTER FROM ANOTHER PLACE. How delightful and insightful. It is so true. If we could learn to let go and look within, we would realise how free we really are and how we can let each other be without being locked in to a certain way of life with another. Congratulations Cathy D. It touched me.
ReplyDeleteLolly.
What a touching piece, it brought a tear to my eye for the peace it gave me, especially when i was thinking of a close friend who recently passed away. It is so beautifully written with its simple but deep and layered context. How true it's message is, we can all gain something from looking at life and death with a broader perspective. I will pass on to many who i know will be touched by it like me. Thank you Cathy D
ReplyDeleteVery poignant and sad, yet filled with hope because of an undiscovered connection. It tells me love is eternal even in the greatest loss of all. Well done Cathy, a lovely piece of writing.
ReplyDeleteDear Cathy
ReplyDeleteI lost my best friend and wife 8 months ago. It's hard to describe what its like. The lost, the confusion, the loneliness. I try to move forward but stumble without her support.
Your piece is extremely moving. I would like to think that if she sent me a letter, it would be like yours. I was given a book from a friend to collect memories, write experiences, things like that. I have added your letter to my book. Thanks. Mark
thank you for providing a perfect piece that allows for easier healed hearts.

This really resonated with me. I've just experienced shamanic healing from a love lost long ago and this is basically the knowledge about the reltionship I have come into...tha it was a gift and that I must look within, not to the person, for wholeness.
