Most upset is derived from our unwillingness to accept or release something. Like holding water, the tighter we grasp the less we have. 

Often the intense energy we expend clinging to something is the single greatest obstacle to our good. We greatly improve our lives and results by letting it go. 

Letting go does not mean giving up. It means that we take our frenetic, chaotic energy out of the picture and release our attachment to the outcome. 

If you believe in a force greater than you (God, Spirit, Universal Energy etc.), letting go is an act of surrender to the power responsible for beating hearts and suspending the planets in the sky, surely it can handle your concerns.

Hey Julie, you are right.  IT is very hard to let go.  It has been three months for me and somedays are good and somedays a song on the radio will turn on the tears.  I almost feel guilty though when I go through the day and don't get think about her till the evening.  Our evenings togethere were special so that's when I miss her the most.

Thats true,it hasn,t been long for me less than a month.Iam already seeing the signs of letting go.No I don, intend to entirely wipe the love of my life completely out of the picture I don,t think you entirely let go better yet you don,t cling,She has been the decison maker for 35 yrs with me on the sidelines.Anyway I need to put this in a blog.Its hard to say leave it to the higher spirit,The higher spirit chose her instead of me Ok Ok back to your entry.Yes got to get on with my life as hard as hard as that is.Slowly but surely Iam getting out of the mental fog of depresson I drag alot of emotional trama with me. Hey ! life keeps on going regardless.I can get on that ship of life or splash around in the water and get strong enough to get on board. Right now its hard to make the adjustment I just want to let go and fall under the water

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
