Hello everyone,
Today I felt the need to share a very recent experience that really shows how the Universe works in magical ways, how events and circumstances are orchestrated for the highest good and for the purpose of love. Everything takes us to the point of origin and return that is love. Source is love and so are we. Regardless of what we experience in our lives, we cannot deny our essence of love.
When I was five years old, we moved
to our new home.
We met our neighbor who quickly became best friends with my mom. My
mom and our neighbor were like sisters and our neighbor even became my youngest
brother's godmother. Friendship grew for many years until my neighbor, who I
will refer to as Tara, had heart surgery followed by a stroke a few days later which
left her paralyzed on her left side. She worked with therapists for a few years
to rehabilitate herself but eventually gave up. The reason she gave up was that
there was a weak foundation in her marriage and her husband was not in love
with her. Tara knew this a long time ago, long before
she became a mother, but nevertheless she continued to say that she "wanted him to love
her again". This became an obsession for Tara. The greater Tara focused on
trying to get her husband to love her, the less she
focused on her own healing and self-love. We are all here to learn, to grow, to
make crucial decisions but most importantly, we are here to love, starting with
LOVING OURSELVES. We cannot expect love and respect from others if we do not
give love and respect to ourselves.
Tara entered a toxic cycle of
martyrdom and drove away many people who had supported her over the years, including
my mom and dad. Tara started to give up and
stopped her physiotherapy. She ended up in a wheelchair and became housebound.
Her husband remained with her as a carer but not
as a soul mate.
I would see Tara from time
to time. Whenever I visited her I always felt heaviness in my heart. Twenty
years passed. Early this week I received news that my mom had to go to hospital
unexpectedly as she thought she may have been experiencing a possible side effects
from a medication she was taking. The doctors at the hospital performed some tests
on her and she was then admitted as a patient.
The room my mom was admitted into in
hospital had beds for two patients .When
my mom and dad entered the room they looked over to the patient in the other
bed and realized that it was Tara! What were the odds? My parents quickly
learned that they had another PURPOSE for being
there as Tara had suffered two strokes and was now in a coma. Just before
my parents entered the room the Doctors treating Tara had just told her family that
she would not recover from the strokes she had suffered. In effect, she was
about to leave her physical existence.
Tara chose to make the transition
with the love of a friend (my mom) and her son holding her hands. She departed
this world a few hours later, the same
evening. My mom’s purpose was to create a space of love and light for Tara, so
she could support her to make her transition, to tell her that everything would
be ok, to have closure, so that they could forgive each other. Even though Tara was unconscious, we knew
that she was more conscious than ever. From that plane, Tara could feel the
essence of each one of us, our love. Tara reconnected with the essence of her
being, her Soul ,and she understood
who she truly was and she chose to return home.
I do not know what Tara’s soul
contract was, but I do know that Spirit orchestrated this encounter for the
highest good of all involved, for the purpose of peace. I felt Archangel Azrael
with Tara and I can feel that she is ok now. She is very loved and finally free
of pain. This blog is in memory of Tara. I asked for Tara’s permission to share
this story, which she was happy for me to do and having done so my heart feels lighter.
I am grateful I was able to learn this lesson from Tara and I hope that you can
also take heart from her story.
When life takes you places that are
dark and toxic, get out and seek the
light because the longer you stay in the dark, the darker it becomes and the
harder it becomes to find the way out. Make decisions based on love. Love
yourself unconditionally and share that love from inside out -to your world, to
the world.
Rest in Peace Tara. Lots of love
from my heart to yours.
Lourdes
