Saying Goodbye

I am having a realization that I have a great deal of trouble saying Good-bye. Which is of course then wrapped up in a fear of abandonment.

I found out today a former client I had, he was sort of my 'pet' if you will. Not intentionally, he was just sort of a stubborn, contrary older man..and I could relate to him :) has cancer and may not live much longer.

It it his time. I know this in my heart. He is in his 70's, and lived a very very hard life. I highly suspect he was one of the original 'indigo's'. I can't see aura's..but didn't need to to recognize him.

I also connect this to my mom leaving me at my grandparents house so she could work. My grandmother was one hateful woman, I cried and begged my mom not to leave me there with them..but she had to work.

I see many connections to this precious man's illness, and my own process. I hate saying good-bye.

I want all these people who I love to always be here, not to leave me..I miss them when they leave.

It also relates to my "co-dependency" I struggled with in my romantic relationships my entire life. Yes, much of that has been healed or let go of now..but still this fear of saying good-bye.

What is the core of this? Help me see what the core issue is..and I can usually put the pieces together for my own messages. But this one I am simply STUCK on.

What is the blessing in saying goodbye? I know it isn't permanent
but that doesn't make any less painful. How to make peace with saying goodbye to those we love..someone have insight to share?

Much love and thanks,

Sheila
