Departed Loved Ones
I'm always sorry to hear about the loss of
departed loved ones when
people write to me. Although I know that all
souls are well-cared for when we die, I also know
that the pain from the loss of a loved one can be very difficult.
To think that a departed loved one may be experiencing an
existence as an Earthbound Spirit is very difficult
for many people. Here I'd like share
our thoughts about Spirits in general and also how you
may be able to help your loved ones to cross over if
you feel that they may be earthbound.
Crossing Over Process
It's important to note that, as a percentage, very few
people will ever become Earthbound Spirits when they
die. Death is a very natural process and almost
all people will easily make the transition with the
help of friends and family that have passed on before them.
Departed spouses, relatives and close friends may come
as escorts at the time of death. For highly
spiritual people it will sometimes just be a Light,
which they know to enter.
Although for a small percentage of people, they will
become confused or emotionally attached to staying in
the physical world. This slight detour is what I
call becoming an Earthbound Spirit.
Is Your Loved One
Earthbound?
People that have not yet developed their own intuitive
nature will often just want to know if their loved one
is safe and has transitioned.
In order to answer these questions for yourself I invite you to
take 10-20 minutes to breathe, relax or meditate
before answering. Allow yourself to become fully
centered, calm and aware before proceeding.
- Did your loved one
die suddenly or traumatically?
- Do you feel the
presence of your departed loved one?
- Does the presence
of your loved one feel "at peace"?
Assisting Your
Loved One to Transition
If you can feel the presence of your loved one but the
presence does not feel "at peace", then you
can use the suggestions here and the script within the
Soul
Rescue Manual to help
them to cross over.
Many of the earthbound spirits that we have worked
with were simply confused because of the sudden nature
or, or confusion about, their deaths. To assist
them first call them by name and inform they no longer
have their physical body but that they do continue to
exist.
These people will often have guilt that they left
things in their life abruptly. Reassure them
that everyone knows that he/she still loves
them.
Tell them that there is no reason to feel any guilt or
shame and that they can now go in peace. Tell
him/her that you give him/her the permission to now
move on. You can speak for everyone that he/she
knows.
In almost all cases this will free the spirit from the
guilt associated with leaving "loose ends"
and helps them to transition easily knowing that those
that they left behind will remember them.
