Default Re: My soul is hurting/shrinking/detaching/dying

francie,

I have had many such days/moments in the last few months, sometimes from the briefest glimpse of a vision of the future. I started to watch the video you mentioned and stopped. It just wasn't what I needed right now!

Your soul may be hurting, but my interpretation is that what you are feeling is the grief that comes from deep compassion for those that have been/are/will be suffering. Compassion is a good thing.

I think you handled the situation well by sending love to those who are suffering. It is also important to send love to those who are CAUSING the suffering in order to "soften them up". When you can do so in private or with trusted friends, let the grief flow through you. Don't try to bottle it up.

Hang in there. Your heart is in the right place, and that's what matters.
