Dealing with a loss can be hard.

Our heart aches when we miss the person or the pet we loved.

But we can feel grateful for the love we shared with them, knowing it will aways remain in our hearts.

Although they may have passed, their spirit still exists and their love for us never fades.

We can remember them through the memories we shared together and the ways their love still touches us, like a sunbeam or a gentle breeze. 

Their energy has changed but they still bring love and beauty into this world.

Let us take a few minutes to feel grateful for the love in our hearts. 

Let us begin by getting comfortable in a chair or on the floor.

Close your eyes or rest your gaze on the floor below or sky above. 

Take a long, slow, deep breath in through your nose, and release that breath out of your mouth.

Again, take another long, slow, deep breath in through your nose, and release that breath out of your mouth.

Now just feel your breath as it enters your body, as you breathe normal.

Feel your body breathe for you naturally. 

Don't force your breath; just feel your breath enter your body, and exit your body. 

Feel your body breathing. 

Notice how your body is breathing. Are you breathing in and out of your nose?

In and out of your mouth? 

Or a combination of the two? 

Just feel your breath for a few moments. 

Let us say silently in our mind and in our throat, “Thank you for Love.”

“Thank you for Love.” 

With each inhale or exhale of your breath, repeat the words, “Thank you for Love.” 

“Thank you for Love.” 

“Thank you for Love.” 

Take a deep breath in through your nose, and slowly exhale that breath out of your mouth.

Remember that memories are always with you. 

Love is always with you. 

Thank you for Love.
