The Spiritual Comfort of Angels During Grief and Loss

In the night of death, hope sees a star,
and listening love, can hear the rustle of a wing.
— Robert Ingersoll

Solace can be hard to find during any kind of loss. Yet comfort is what the heart most longs for during experiences of grief and mourning.

We lose loved ones through death, illness, and even dementia or divorce. Loss occurs in many ways and grief is an entirely natural response, seen in humans as well as in animals.

Grieving can be a very difficult experience to go through, and is perhaps even more difficult to talk about, especially in a culture that avoids the discussion of death or lacks the language to describe the loss of someone through dementia.

When your pain and grief is recognised and you feel comforted, you can move through the grieving process in a healthy way without becoming stuck in denial, anger, or avoidance.

Angels are non-denominational and bring messages of peace and love. They understand your soul at a higher level, and know what you need even as you face challenges and loss in your life.

I feel angels around me when I call on them, and physically experience their presence as movements of energy, like a touch on the arm or shoulder, or a warm hug.

As you call on the angels for their support, you will become more sensitive to their presence. Sometimes it is during the most vulnerable time, when emotions run deep, that you are able to connect with the angels.

Archangel Azrael means "helper of God" and he assists souls who have passed over, as well as their friends and family who are still alive in the physical world.

You can speak aloud this request to call on his support:

"Archangel Azrael, thank you for comforting me as I grieve the loss of my loved one. Thank you for your compassionate and gentle presence as I begin healing."

Archangel Azrael has a very soft, gentle and compassionate presence, and attends to people who are grieving. As you allow yourself to feel this softness and love, you allow the emotions of grief to flow through you and heal your heart.

Wishing you great healing.
