It is a question that has vexed humanity for ages. Most of us have experienced the loss of a loved one, whether it's a parent, sibling, dear friend, or even a child.

Is there a way for the departed to connect with those still living? Heaven and hell?

There are many sadnesses that can befall us in life. We can endure poverty, ignominy, and failure after failure; we can suffer from injury or illness in such a way that we spend the rest of our days incapacitated and in pain; and we can lose to death, at nearly anytime, our life or the lives of those we love.

No matter how toxic (and pointless) it is to continue pining for an ex, most women have a near impossible time letting go and moving forward. Let’s say you had a job where you felt perpetually stressed, anxious, and miserable. You put in all you could, even if it came at the expense of your ego and sometimes, your sanity. And let’s say you got fired from that job. Yes, being unemployed is scary so at first you’ll feel upset and worried, but you will also probably feel relieved. You’ll realize it was for the best and will be thankful that you are now free to find a job that is better suited for you, one where you will feel valued and appreciated. You won’t spend sleepless nights pining for that old job, wondering what went wrong and what else you could have done. You’ll realize, with perfect clarity, that it wasn’t the right place for you.
