You do not need your trinkets, your talismans, your toys to feel good. They are reminders … visual objects that hold meaning for you. They trigger thoughts which hold meaning for you. These, in turn, engender feelings … emotions … states of being which go up and down. Do you see now why it is not so important to behold or hold an object to receive the benefit? This holds true for those loved ones you can no longer hold. At deeper levels there are no solid objects. At deeper levels all that exists is experience, so if you cannot hold something or someone to which you have ascribed great meaning, join them in the head and heart. At the deeper levels of being this is the same experience.
You are so very loved.

OMG, what a message I needed today. My cousin’s daughter died in a car accident last night. She was 21, just graduated college. And today is my late mother’s birthday. She died 44 years ago. No, we can no longer hold them, but in our hearts.
CNG, I’m very sorry about your loss. Hope you’re doing OK. -sj
This morning I woke with the clear intention to myself, “Kathryn, make today about focusing on the gain of a connection in the Spirit world, rather than the loss of a connection in the world of form, the human realm on Earth” when grieving my dog… I could see I’ve been lopsided in my focus, not discounting form, but needing to tend to the presence of Spirit, more, to be in true alignment. This message came in right as I made that my intention for the day, and had only moments prior, decided to put a few more of my dog’s *things* away from my home, and focus differently (more internal). Thank you for the perfectly timed message.
I so love how Spirit works.
How very true these words. It is the thoughts of our beloved that we hold in our hearts and minds, the love that we shared that binds us together.. No earthly trinket or belonging can give this experience that is deep within everyone.
Thank you Sanaya. You are much loved for the wisdom you share and remind us of our connection to spirit.
Hi Suzanne, I’ve watched many of your podcasts and enjoyed learning from you. My daughter passed March 1st, last year. Like you, I couldn’t believe SHE had gone. I knew her body had died, I was there, I saw her go. But I knew the real person was still here. You’ve helped me so much, to know we never die, and my girl certainly hasn’t. I want to thankyou for giving me hope, strength and the knowledge I’ll be with her, and all my loved one’s that have passed over, again. Love and best wishes from Kirsty and her Mum.❤❤
Oh, Gillian, there is such gratitude that you recognize this truth … to know your daughter exists with you and within you always.
Your comments today filled me with
Calmness with the knowledge that what really matters in life is the knowledge that what is really important is living in our hearts and minds and our past memories of the people or person we loved who passed away.
Their spirit never dies but lives forever within us. Tangible and material things come and go and are meaningless in the general scheme of an entire life.
Thank you for your lovely insight.
