Knowing when to let go is something you learn over time. I wish it came naturally, but it doesn't. Right now someone dear to me is in the hospital. It's not likely that he'll leave it, at least not in the way in which I would prefer. On some level he has already left it. Whatever you believe about what happens when someone passes, the transition isn't only for the person who is dying...or has died. It is also for those who are left behind.
My own transition right now is happening as I write this. I am learning to let go. I am learning that releasing something...or someone does not mean that I have lost them forever. I am letting go and releasing the need to have him here with us. Learning to let go is teaching me lessons beyond what I could have imagined.
