Most of us know what it’s like to lose a loved one, and this is now happening in numbers that we have not seen for generations. Every day there are new headlines about a “sudden death syndrome” that appears to be able to claim healthy adults and children, even athletes in peak physical condition. The cause is clear to some of us; not so clear to others. But the fact remains, there are many, many grieving friends, partners and relatives in the world at this moment.
There is nothing like the pain of bereavement. Whether a spouse of 50 years, a child or a beloved pet, the sense of loss is immeasurable. And no matter how well-meaning the people around us are, they cannot help. This is a pain that we have to deal with on our own.
Pharmaceuticals are not the answer
Few people look to pharmaceutical medicines to help them through bereavement. I think we know deep down that tranquillisers are not a solution; they just postpone having to work through the pain.
But there is an alternative that not many of us have ever considered, and it can be very effective indeed. This is homeopathy.
Some people confuse homeopathy with herbal medicine. It isn’t the same. Homeopathy is an “energy” or “quantum” form of medicine. (If you haven’t yet read my article on energy medicine and EMF you may want to do that now for an explanation.) Simply put, homeopathic medicines are drops of water or sugar pills which have been imprinted with the frequency of a natural healing substance or plant. It may seem impossible that this could work. But it does, because our bodies are not made of solid matter, they only appear to be solid. Every atom is mostly empty space containing minute particles held together by electromagnetism. This electromagnetism is very susceptible to being altered by different EMF frequencies, which can have far-reaching effects on our mood, emotions and overall health. So a drop of water imprinted with a suitable frequency can indeed ease feelings of grief.
In my personal experience, homeopathic remedies move the grief on, first to the next stage, and then to final resolution, leaving you with feelings of love, not so much pain, when you think of your loved one. They can work very quickly and may only require a few doses of each remedy, over a few days. Of course there will be residual sadness, but the intensity of the emotional pain will be very much less. This has been my experience, and several people have contacted me to confirm that they had a similar reaction using the protocol I am about to suggest.
There is only one pre-requisite. You have to be tired of the pain and want to let it go. Sometimes we have an unconscious desire to hold on to bereavement pain, in order to honour our loved one. But would your loved one really want this? I don’t think so…
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep,
I saw that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep.
I whispered to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
‘It’s me, I haven’t left you, I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.’I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached out to me.I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care,
I just want you to know that I am not really lying there.You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew
In the stillness of that moment, I was very close to you.I’m here so close beside you, so near you every day.
Believe me when I tell you,
I never went away.Unknown author
Homeopathic remedies 1 & 2
Arnica 30 and Bach Flower Rescue Remedy. These help with the initial trauma. They help to calm down acute emotional pain.
Remedy 3
Ignatia 30. This is for the feeling of loss---that desperately empty hole in your heart, left by the loss of your loved one.
Remedy 4
Pulsatilla 30. This is for depression after bereavement. The lingering feeling that life no longer has any meaning.
I recommend getting all four of these remedies. They are available from any health food store. Ignatia may be a little harder to get hold of. If so, try Amazon websites or look online for a homeopathic pharmacy (eg. helios.co.uk) which can supply it quickly by mail order. Take as needed. In the acute grief stage you may need to take the first two remedies every half hour until symptoms subside. The suggested dose for remedies 3 and 4 is three times a day.
Homeopathic remedies contain no pharmaceutical substances, so they cannot cause toxicity.
