LOVE LIVES ON WILL HELP YOU ESTABLISH A NEW RELATIONSHIP, A CONTINUING BOND WITH YOUR DECEASED LOVED ONE, A MAJOR TASK OF GRIEVING.

G - COME TO REALIZE YOU ARE LOVED

COPING WELL IS AN INNATE ABILITY -- IT LIES WITHIN ALREADY. YOU CAN COPE WITH YOUR LOSS AND REINVEST IN YOUR NEW LIFE.
IT ALL BEGINS WITH YOUR CONSCIOUS CHOICE AND DETERMINATION TO GET THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME. KEEP TELLING YOURSELF "I AM DETREMINED. I AM GETTING THROUGH THIS DARKNESS. I AM CAPABLE." (THE "I AM" IS CRITICAL TO REPEAT -- IT STATES YOU ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING IT AND YOU WILL INFLUENCE YOUR UNCONSCIOUS BELIEFS AND BEHAVIORS.) PERSIST. PERSIST. PERIST.
REMEMBER: WHATEVER YOU KEEP THINKING YOU DRAW TO YOURSELF. FURTHERMORE, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE INSIGHTS, EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES, AND NEW MEANINGS ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH TO BE GAINED FROM THOSE WHO HAVE MOURNED THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE AND OBTAINED PEACE AND HEALING. ALL ARE FOUND IN LOVE LIVES ON.
