When we don't know how to allow the form of a relationship to change while still honoring the underlying love and connection, it causes pain in that relationship. When you are deeply involved with another being, that connection lasts forever. After you have learned a great deal from being with someone, the energy between you may eventually diminish to the point where you no longer need to interact on a personality level as much or at all. Yet, the connection between your two spirits remain strong. Sometimes the energy renews itself again on another level.
It is natural and safe for my relationships to change form. Reflections in the Light, Shakti Gawain, October 27
I had a wonderful and loving relationship with my ex mother in law. I still believe we do, just from afar now. Today I found out that she had a horrible accident and her health is not good. My first instinct is to reach out to help and take care of the situation the best that I can with my love and friendship, however I cannot. I cannot because I am learning to set boundaries for myself in Recovery. In the past I would allow myself to be pulled into this situation, then leading to interaction with my ex husband and so forth and so on. Eventually leading or could lead me back to active addiction. My coping mechanism.
Today I am going to trust God that he is going to heal her and love her. Today I am learning to love from afar and that it is okay that our relationship has changed form.
