Nothing can lesson her deep pain. They had lived together for 25 years raising the three children they both loved so much. She is flooded simultaneously with so many emotions. Loneliness, when she passes her evenings and nights alone. Fear, because she has to face life alone? Emptiness, because a huge chuck of her life has just disappeared form the earth. Injustice and bitterness, because so many other people are able to enjoy their loved ones until an old age. Anger with God for allowing this to happen, and especially after she prayed so much. Depression, because she does not know what to do with her time or her life. Guilt, because she questions whether she did whatever she could medically to save him. Hurt, because her family and friends have abandoned her after the first three months, and now she is more alone than when it first happened.

What could be Sophia's lessons? What can she learn from this: Could her lessons be some of the following: That life gives her exactly what she needs at every stage for her next evolutionary step? To find the inner strength to continue without the other? To free herself from any guilt that she did not do what she could have to keep him alive or to show him more love? To realize that she can be happy again with out him and that life does have meaning without him? That there are millions of other souls with which she can exchange love and service? To study the spiritual truths about the purpose of life and about what happens after death and about our true immortal spiritual nature? To turn her attention to those who are still near her and love and serve them? To free herself from feelings of insecurity and feel her inner strength and ability? To develop a deeper relationship with God? To be able to accept what has happened as a perfect part of a divine plan which always functions in her best spiritual interest? To search for a new and deeper meaning in life? To forgive herself for not having given to her loved one that which she wanted to give? That we are all immortal souls temporarily occupying these bodies for the perfect length of time which we require to learn our lessons and then we leave? That all is happening according to a perfect divine plan? That she is an immortal divine soul with all the power and intelligence necessary to live her life fully and meaningfully? That her security and happiness are within her and that she does not depend on anyone else?

With time Sophia will gradually learn which she needs to and will find inner peace again.
