Hello, I'm Artlore fm Vancouver Island, Canada,
I am asked this question often. There are times when I look into a person's eyes, if they are really asking me - "How do I Grieve, the Pain fm Yearning so hard the pain in my stomache makes me:
Vomit, Double me over & stops when I get to My Doc's Office or Emerg, and the one thing they should say, but don't, is: I want to kill myself..... I don't want to be on this Earth without him or her.
The longer you fight w/yourself the longer the healing fm Grief will take. There is no time frame that says how long your allowed to grieve. Never do anything drastic in your life for the first year after your loss. The first year is a year of firsts which are the hardest to learn to cope with.
Ghosts, I prefer to call them Spirits. They absolutely do exist, however I've learned the most, when I finally calm myself, and ask them to come so I know their OKay. I believe this is our 7th Sense, and anyone is capable of asking a spirit to come, and it will happen eventually if you believe. When I receive a visit our lips do not move yet we have conversations, not long, but I ask questions & should the spirit come w/o me asking, I say nothing, I just listen.
Please remember your loved ones are never that far away, and all you need to do, is ask.
Peace, Artlore
