It’s Okay to be Mad at a Loved One on the Other Side

Today’s message is from the Halloween Oracle by Stacey DeMarco. The Lamp. Remembrance. You might find yourself thinking about a loved one who has crossed over more than usual at this time of year; but you could have lingering, complicated feelings about this person. No one ever seems to want to talk about that. So let’s talk about it 🙂 It’s okay if you are still angry at your parent/spouse/friend who has passed on. That doesn’t make you a bad person. It makes you a flawed, complicated human being. It doesn’t mean you loved this person any less. In fact, if you didn’t love him or her you wouldn’t still be so mad! They can hear us on the other side but they can’t really be hurt by what we say. They are with God now and they know their sins are forgiven and everything is going to be all right between you in the end. So go ahead, lash out, scream, cry, hit way below the belt, and then be done with it. Get it off your chest. Then light a candle – or a lamp, if you have cats and you would prefer for them not to burn the house down; the gesture is symbolic – and ask God to carry your hurt away. If you have to do this for yourself once a year, once a month, or even once a day, that’s perfectly all right. You are entitled to your feelings. God bless you and have a wonderful day –
