Death of another is a loss of what is
It is the loss of what has been
And the finality of what could have been
The loss of more time together
Death pricks the fear that you will not
Make it through the sorrow
You will not find your way out
You will always be in grief
Loss of another is a call to go within
To consciously touch to that which is solid
That which never changes and is constant
The connection with the Greater Whole
You are still safe and loved
Even when death is present
You still have the knowing of the Love
That has been and always will be
Why does the dread about death persist?
The seeming finality is scary
Your loved one is not in the flesh
Your loved one moves to a place within
Perhaps you have not explored within
Perhaps you do not feel at ease there
Perhaps the deep grief feels paralyzing
Perhaps moving ahead seems overwhelming
However within is a place of Love
Within awaits your presence
Healing and Love both reside within
Restoration and Grace reside within
Going within provides all the time
You desire to say the things you did not say
To set things right from your side
To determine that which needs saying
Death is often a doorway to inner peace
It beckons us to quiet reflection
It strengthens us for reentering life
Without our loved one in the flesh
Every action and feeling you have
Is known by the Everlasting Love
You cannot be forgotten ever
You will find your way home
Receive the blessings of the Eternal Energy
Beckoning you to your own true self
Reminding you are whole and will feel whole again
Restating that all is well and that you are truly loved
If you are beset with sorrow, this can leave you. Open a Sacred Healing Space with Divine Source energy you want in that space. Call for help (I call forth help) from Divine Source for any depression, sorrow, loss or grief energy you are carrying to be transformed. Call for your lightness of heart and mind to be restored. Call in the healing energy and balance that you desire. Call for the help you need to take up your life again. You can do this for yourself and for others. You are always heard.

Beautiful. As i head to the funeral of my cousin who took his own life. York words are like a salve today. XO
Robbins Hopkins says
Dear Eileen, May the Love of the Divine hold you and your family in a place of protection and gentleness as you work through the loss, sorry and grief surrounding the loss of your cousin. We have called for the Divine Beings around him to see him safely to the Light. He has passed into that space now. We hold the space for his complete healing from his suicide so that he can continue to learn the love lessons he could not embrace when in life. May all be good and well for him and for all those who love him. Peace, Robbins

Stephanie Flack (formerly at Equinox yoga classes with you) says
Thank you Robbins. I recently lost my dad and found this very comforting. I shared it with my mom who is still in deep grief. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and reflections.
Robbins Hopkins says
Dear Stephanie, Thanks for writing. May the grief you both feel now bring you to a place of balance and quiet reflection. We have called in Divine Beings to help mitigate the deep sorrow for you and your mom so that the good times and blessings of your father’s life can eventually replace the sense of loss still present now. Sending blessings of transformation and wholeness for you both. Peace to you each on your journey, Robbins

Carol deNeufville says
I love these words so much, so helpful. Tears streaming down my face, I feel a softness in my belly, a trust, such a deep love. When I got this email with the subject “Death Calls Us Home”, for a moment I thought you were writing personally to me, as my dear mother-in-law passed on February 23 (although I had meant to tell you, I hadn’t and couldn’t figure out how you knew!). I did check and got that she was able to fully transition into the Light, which I feel so incredibly grateful and happy about. Thank you for these words that came at the perfect time.
Robbins Hopkins says
Thank you for sharing your response to this post. Many blessings and wonderful memories as you heal from the loss of your mother-in-law. May her specialness find a permanent place in the happiness of your heart. She will be in a place of delight and learning now that she has fully transitioned! May her life provide a wonderful summary of her learnings and may her presence in your lives be delightfully celebrated in memories. Peace, Robbins
Carol says
Thank you so much, dear Robbins, for these beautiful, powerful, uplifting words. More tears! love, Carol
Robbins Hopkins says
Thank you for these comments! May all the tears serve to clear the heaviness of heart you are experiencing. I know adjusting to loss of a loved one takes a good long while to heal. May you find your path through this time with ease and grace. Blessing, Robbins
