I lost my soulmate, Phil, on July 29, 2024. We didn’t have a big family or many close friends nearby—but I’ve been surrounded by earth angels I now call family. These neighbors, through their kindness and presence, became a true circle of support during the hardest time of my life.

​

The five stages of grief offered a framework. Prayer brought comfort. But none of it fully lifted the heaviness that settled on my heart and soul. Grief doesn’t just live in the mind—it touches everything.

​

What helped me most was turning to my spirituality. I started reading books on after-death communication by credible doctors, psychologists, and authors from all walks of life. What they shared confirmed what I  already sensed deep down: the soul survives physical death. The body is temporary—just a vessel. The soul goes on.
 

And as I read, I found I wasn’t alone. Others had experienced signs, dreams, and messages too. It opened my heart even more to the truth that love doesn’t end—it transforms.
 

I’ve had my own personal connections with Phil—some through mediums, others in deeply quiet, sacred ways between just us. These moments changed how I see reality. They helped me understand that our connection to those we love isn’t limited to the five senses. The veil is thin. Love is the bridge.
 

Creating Light After Grief is part of my healing—and part of my promise to Phil. Through this site, my writings, and our ongoing soul connection, I want to gently support others on this path and share what’s helped me most:
 

Your loved one isn’t gone.
They’ve just changed form.
And they’re still with you.
Love never dies.

With heart and soul light,
Marie
In quiet partnership with Phil, whose love continues to guide me.
