The Spiritual Gift of Divorce/Breakup
filed in Finding Soul on Jan 19, 2007
How can you see a gift in this crisis when you have been in so much pain and have lost so much? I know from first hand experience how hard it is to loose the things we love, our home, our friends our lifestyle and the relationship that was to fulfill our dreams. It is “huge” and it requires feeling the pain and coming to a place of acceptance.
So, how then can you see the gifts when even months or years after the loss you still are not recovered financially or emotionally? Here are some questions I often ask myself during losses I have no control over. It has helped me to focus on the gifts that I have received in my previous relationships and has helped me to accept the unacceptable loses. They may help you.
What have I learned in this relationship? What do I understand now about myself that I did not understand before? What old pain from childhood have I healed that I have been carrying around with me? What have I been willing to accept even though my body, mind and spirit were saying “no”? In what ways have I abandoned myself in the relationship? What do I now realized I deserve? How has this crisis put me on my right path?
