*Eagle represents a state of grace that is reached through inner work, understanding and passing the initiation tests that result from reclaiming our personal power. Eagle Medicine is the Power of the Great Spirit. It is the spirit of tenacity. It is the gift of clear vision with which one can truly see the things one sees. It is the patience to wait for the appropriate moment. It is to live in balance with heaven and earth. Eagle reminds us of our connection with the Great Spirit. It tells us that the universe is giving us the opportunity to fly above our life's worldly levels, or above the shadow of past realities. Eagle teaches us to look above in order to touch Grandfather Sun with our heart, to love the Shadow as much as the Light. Eagle asks us to grant ourselves permission to be free in order to reach the joy that our heart desires.*

When I arrived at Mom's this morning, a bald eagle was circling overhead. Kim and I once went searching for a bald eagle's nest...and ended up hiding under our boat when they went after us because we were too close to their nest.

How fitting that I got to sit and watch that eagle soar this morning...

Sorry to hear, Angel...deepest condolences. At least you can take some comfort in knowing he's not suffering any more.

[Sensible Shoes]

So sorry Angel. May good memories sustain you.

Angel... I don't post all that much anymore but have read this thread and my heart breaks for you. I truly hope that you find peace and allow time to heal your pain. Throw me a PM if you want to talk, rant, whatever... ~ Susan

Sorry to hear about your loss, babe When my grandfather passed on in 2010, it was just so heavy duty on my family, but I was comforted in the fact that especially because he is no longer suffering, I now feel like he's always with me now that he's passed...

[Guitar Shark]

You are in my thoughts, Angel. Remember the good times.

I remember I was walking in my neighborhood one afternoon in 2003, and saw a bald eagle circling overhead. I thought it was a bit strange, as it's not usual to see them in the city limits. A teaching on eagle medicine similar to what you posted here came to me, and I knew it had to mean something. Then when I got home, the phone rang not even two minutes later and I was told my grandmother had passed away. Somehow it just made sense......

Like with your brother, it wasn't exactly unexpected, as she had been ill for sometime. But it's the kind of news we're never really ready to hear. I did get to spend the previous Christmas with her, knowing full well it would probably be the last time I saw her. I know you were talking about seeing your brother, and I hope you had the chance to do that, but even if you weren't physically there, you got to talk to him, and say your goodbyes.

Anyway, I hope anything I said here made sense.... I've probably deleted and re-typed this about 20 times because words usually fail me at times like these.

I'm not going to hijack your thread by getting into the kind of month I've had with family medical stuff, but I'll just say I think Mick & Keith had it right, way back in 1966.....

What a drag it is getting old.......

[Igosplut]

No words really do justice to how it all plays out. It just flat out sucks, and there's nothing you can do but try to put in a place you can handle. It's been said that the person that passes has the easier time as it's over for them....But not for you. Just as funerals are not for the dead, but for the living. Never an easy journey, but one you must travel regardless. Hope it's smooth for your sake.

So sorry Im a couple days late here. No matter how much you think you are prepared.....you are not prepared. I wish I could give you a big hug & let you cry on my shoulder. All of us here do. We really care for you & this thread has touched most of us. Thank you for sharing such a deeply personal & tragic experience. I hope on my next tragedy I live through, that I am able to pull some strength from what you have shown us all here.

Take care Angel,

Mike

Thank you, everyone. I can't wait for life to get back to normal. I hate this shit.

Oh honey...I've thought about you soooo much for the past year! Huge hugs to you. xoxoxo

[Angel]

Thank you, everyone. I can't wait for life to get back to normal. I hate this shit.

Starting to think this may never happen....I think I'm moving into a cardboard box when I get back home...

[Angel]

Wow. Quite the thread to read through. This baby can be locked up now...

[Never was]

Angel, all my prayers and condolences. Be kind to yourself, celebrate the memories, and don't define the journey by a single till we meet again.

Hang in there luv and doesn't feel that way now you will again rise

cheers,
Liam
