The underground to Overcoming the Loss of a Good Friendship

Have you ever experienced the loss of a good friendship without warning or an insight of why it happened? I have recently parted ways with a dear friend of mine. Our friendship did not end with a incompatibility or a quarrel; it simply came to an end.

The underground to Overcoming the Loss of a Good Friendship

Sitting surface in the warm afternoon sun with my eyes ended and listening to the bees buzzing in the lavender bush behind me, I had been trying to make sense of my loss of friendship. Was I to blame? Did I do or say something to offend my friend? While deep in thought, I had a vision. A picture of an hourglass appeared in my mind's eye, followed by a sunflower. The hourglass moderately emptied its sandy contents from the top half into the bottom, while the sunflower diligently tracked the sun's course across the day-lit sky in a 180 degree arc, from horizon to horizon.

Mother Nature never seems to fail me. In an instant, I grasped the meaning of this vision. There comes a time when a sunflower stops tracking the sun and becomes freezing in an eastward-facing position. The energy the sunflower required from the sun is no longer needed: the sunflower had come into full bloom. Man once told me that when couples stop loving each other, it often happens because they have outgrown the need for the other. I think nature in all her wisdom was giving me a similar message about friendships.

My friend and I have simply outgrown our need for each other. While we were still friends, we spent many hours in each other's company, drawing energy from one another. She was able to meet some of my needs that other habitancy could not meet and likewise, I was able to meet some of hers. Since then, our priorities and focus have changed. We have stopped drawing energy from each other. We have come into full bloom!

If you have lost a good friend, are feeling confused or perhaps abandoned, try to understand your friend's point of view. sustain yourself in the idea that the much needed energy you have provided throughout the lifetime of your friendship has assisted your friend to...

Come into Full Bloom!
