@arpie I absolutely resonate with that experience. A dear relative gave me an angel when I was first diagnosed and I wore it on the left side (bc left) as I needed everything I could to help me then. However, since then I’ve ‘lost’ it a couple of times for a month or more at a time and I search everywhere and ironically I was going out to cancer support sisters meeting this morning and again it was gone. It’s very emotional each time I ‘lose’ her but today I realised that maybe SHE was hiding to see how well I’d cope on my “own”. I usually believe that we are in the right place at the right time and the universe is trying to support us the best way possible.
I loved the words of your uk friend and also know that the person who gave me the angel is still there, whilst the physical angel isn’t, everything she stands for is! I’m safe. I have people who love me, support me and want me healthy and cancer free.
Maybe the angel, like friends are in our lives at a time, for a time for a reason. Maybe ur friend may get you a soldier brooch as the angel has done her job looking out for you to ensure you got onto the cancer. I don’t know. But I do like to think our angels (spiritual) are all around us all the time and that Them or Mother Nature or the Universe is looking after us. And then I let go and trust I am in good hands spiritually and look after my physical self by putting in good fuel into my body, running my engine regularly to keep it running and leave the rest to the Higher Power whatever that is.
When I remember to, this is what I practise but it’s hard to remember to do this all the time. I visualise me being miniature and floating down a rippling brook on a leaf, looking at the sky and trusting me Higher Power will guide me where I need to be.
Sorry if that’s been an airy-fairy rave on but it’s worked well for me in the past. Each person has a different journey and maybe I’m a bit “off with the fairies”. And that’s ok.
Hugs to you. Hope you feel better SOON. Xxx
