I realize we are all still grieving for Michael. These past few months have been horrible to go through, but helping to create this forum has helped ME to heal.
Does it help you to know that Michael is no longer tormented, and is now very happy? Once I learned this, I began to feel so much better, even though I won't ever get over the loss.
Please share where you are at in the grieving process. We would love to help if we can.
I love you more,
Mary-Ann

Hi Mary Ann,
Since I've had the chance to connect with Michael, and read how others here have connected with him, I don't experience the degree of sadness I did before. I'm even find that I'm not as angry with the people I felt did Michael the most harm in his life - Bashir, et al. And I don't get engaged emotionally when I hear people talk negatively about Michael in the media. I just say, 'too bad they don't chose to really know him. It is their loss.'
Now that I've been able to connect with him, I feel calmer. Of course the sadness has not gone. There are still songs and pictures of him that make me shed tears for him. But I do feel myself moving through the grief.
So good to have the people here at MJ Army's for support!
Gerri

Awww Gerri, that's so great! I'm so glad you are moving past the anger of what Michael went through, and the negative press about him. If you carry the anger with you, it just hurts YOU and there's no point to that.
Just recently, I've resolved to change my attitude about the negativity, the haters, etc. Following Michael's lead, I choose to think of them as "confused" rather than evil. So I'm getting to that place of peace myself.
We will always miss that Michael is no longer on earth, but just feeling close to his beautiful spirit makes this worth all the pain!
Hugs,
Mal

I'm glad for you as well, Gerri!
Sometimes I can be veeeery impatient - like meditating and connecting. I just want it to happen RIGHT NOW! But, like everything else, we need to excercise... I'm happy that you're doing better because of the connections and the inspirations, nothing is better than that!
Lots of love, Ida

Hello, Like Ida I don't feel concerning myself a good connecting and that makes me feel isolated and lonely and sad; I can be very mitived and inspried by Michael but almost every day I have these moments of sadness and I can cry because of the loss of Michael to early. B ut I also now that now Micheal is able to communicate on a different level and also when we donnot really feel the con,nection, it is defenitly THERE; I see it on the net Michael affects , I things millions of people in this moment; of every age; I saw the comments of a 13 year old kid, whoes parents didn't like mj mUSIC? BUT AFTER mICHAEL PASSING AWAY THIS KID IS COMPLETELY CHANGED AND IS INPIRED BY mICHAEL? DOESN4T TAKE A LIFE AS GRANTED AS BEFORE? IS LMORE AWARE AND i THINK THAT IS REALLY GREAT NEWS AND THAT 4S WHAT WE NEED IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. WE ARE IN A TIME OF BIG CHANGES AND we are part of it, isn't that exciting? We have to keep the faith and we will manage to develop our selves. I love you all and I'm so happy that I must almost cry that I met you all; Love Catharina www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZCyyUjqVWo

Hi Catharina, I'm so sorry you're having trouble connecting to Michael I remember feeling that way, so I know it really sucks! You should know he is always with you and sends his love, but you just can't feel that yet. I sent you an email for instructions with Skype, and hope you and I can talk soon. Thank you for posting the One Day In Your Life song! It's an oldie, but a good one. I love the words "Just call my name, and I'll be there." Those words keep coming up in Michael's songs, don't they? This is another sign that Michael saw the future! Whenever I am going to connect with Michael, I close my eyes and focus on only him, and then call out to him... it's very true... I call out his name and he appears! I hope you get to experience what I do sometime soon. Luckily, we all have this ability... we just have to learn to harness it. It's all about love, L.O.V.E. Mal

Hello Catharina, You are not alone, same happens to me....I guess is a matter of having faith and try not to expect anything.....maybe with time we can develop the connection. In the meantime, it does good to me the meditation, relaxing and all that....I need it anyway

Catharina and Ida, I have also had limited results from trying to connect with MJ; I think I did once last week; I haven't again, but like Poetgerri, I found that that brief connection made me feel a lot better. I've been crying so much less, and before, I felt like the bottom of the world was going to drop out some days I was so sad and grieving. Just trying to meditate and doing little bubble of love visualizations seems to have helped me as much or more than the connection I think I had with Michael. I wanted to suggest after reading your stories, that perhaps focusing on creating that healing bubble of love might be the way to approach this. I think, and this is just my thoughts so far lol, that as my ability to create that bubble gets better, my peace of mind also increases, and from there, I think perhaps it will become easier to connect with Michael and invite him in once I can visualise a really strong, luminous glowing-with-love bubble. Just thinking through my fingertips, but I hope it might help you feel less sad too as it has done for me.

I have been experiencing the same difficulty in connecting with Michael as Catharina, GiveIn, and Ida. It is so frustrating at times and I get so disappointed and upset with myself that I cannot feel that Michael is there. From what others have told me, I know he is here with me, helping me through my grief (which, BTW, has gotten noticeably better lately!). I am not patient either when it comes to something like this; I want to really feel Michael now and connect with him, but I guess I'm just not ready for it. But that's a good idea, Karen, to continue to practice my Bubble of Love. Thanks, GiveIn, I will try to Keep the Faith! Jacque
