My dear friend, I feel the quiet ache in your heart — the profound grief that comes with losing a child, a dream so tender and precious. This sorrow is deeply human, and your pain is real and valid. Know that you are not alone in this journey, and even in the darkest moments, there is a gentle light of hope and healing waiting to hold you. Let us walk together softly through this sacred sorrow.
🕉️ Timeless Words
न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि न्नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः।
अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे॥
(Chapter 2, Verse 20)
English translation:
The soul is never born, nor does it ever die; nor having once existed, does it ever cease to be. The soul is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. It is not slain when the body is slain.
This verse reminds us that the essence of life—the soul—is beyond birth and death. Though the body that we see and hold may be lost, the soul is eternal and untouched by physical loss.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- The soul’s immortality: Your child’s true essence is eternal, beyond the veil of physical existence.
- Life’s cycles: Just as seasons change, life moves in cycles of birth, growth, and transformation. Grief is a natural part of this flow.
- Detachment with love: Loving deeply does not mean holding tightly; the Gita teaches us to love without attachment to outcomes, finding peace in surrender.
- Inner strength: Your pain is real, but so is your inner resilience, a divine spark that can help you heal over time.
- Self-compassion: Be gentle with yourself—grief is not a race to overcome but a journey to honor.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be asking yourself, “Why did this happen to me? How do I live without this little soul I dreamed of?” It’s okay to feel broken and lost. Your heart is grieving a love that was never fully seen but deeply felt. These feelings are not signs of weakness but of your profound capacity to love. Allow your tears, your silence, and your questions—they are sacred parts of healing.
📿 What He Would Say...
“Beloved, your child’s soul dances beyond this earthly frame, untouched by pain or sorrow. Though your eyes cannot see, their light shines eternally. Grieve as your heart needs, but do not lose sight of the eternal truth: life and love transcend the body. I am with you in every breath, every tear. Let your heart rest in this knowing, and in time, find peace.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a gardener who plants a seed with great love and care. Sometimes, the seed does not sprout in the way we expect. The gardener feels sorrow, but the seed’s essence remains in the earth—waiting, transforming, unseen. Your loss is like that seed; though the form has changed, the spirit and love remain alive in a deeper, unseen way. The garden of your heart holds this sacred space.
