People choose to end their lives due to overwhelming emotional pain, mental health struggles, trauma, or a sense of hopelessness. To support loved ones after a loss, listen without judgment, offer practical help, and encourage professional grief counseling.

We have already touched on the topic of death from the perspective of metaphysics and spirituality. We invite you to check out the articles in this series if you haven’t read them yet.

In this article, I will respond to a comment from a participant in one of the open broadcasts about why people consciously choose to leave life and how you can support the loved ones of the person who has passed.

Any death is a choice of the soul. Why people choose to leave life

Comment: “Recently, a good acquaintance passed away through suicide. Alena, I remember you said that if 11 parts of the soul are ready to leave, then the twelfth will be pulled along. So does that mean suicide is a choice of the soul?”

Any death is a choice of the soul from a metaphysical perspective.

As for the 11 parts of the soul, that’s a concept transmitted by Steve Rother and the Group.

You are coming from the idea that he didn’t want this, and the other parts, those nasty ones, forced him. Such an outcome is not a forced state.

Now and increasingly with each passing day, there will be more departures. It is very difficult to be under this pressure, this strain, including vibrational and energetic pressure.

We are on the threshold of grand changes, and they are not easy to live through.

The year 2022, February hit like a bolt from the blue, because everyone saw one thing, but I saw the embodiment of everything I had been talking about for years.

It’s just that we focused on it all being beautiful, but it’s not beautiful; it’s emotionally, mentally, psychologically, and physically hard, hard in every way.

I realized that I, too, had that frivolous part about the wizard in the blue helicopter. I always chuckled about that, thinking everyone would just fall asleep and wake up in a new world.

But we are giving birth to it through ourselves, through pain, through the rejection of suffering, and through everything else. And many simply cannot handle it.

How to support a person in grief

Another question is how to support the loved ones of the person who has passed?

Those who are “in the know” try to explain to the loved ones that the departure was a choice of the soul. But at such moments, people don’t understand this, don’t want to understand, and are even afraid.

There are people with a vast soul experience; this knowledge benefits them, they know what to do with it. But even among us, there is always a small percentage of the audience that, no matter what I say, gets scared.

If a person lives in fear, why add to it?

I, for example, see my task differently. The broadcasts and live streams have the opposite effect; they help, on the contrary, to breathe a sigh of relief, to feel free, to feel wings on your back. At least, that’s what I hope for and that’s the thought I go on air with.

But there is always someone who gets scared for any reason, no matter what you say or write. The same goes for this knowledge.

If the goal is to support a person, we support them in the language and with the methods they understand, not with some clever reasoning, information, and so on.

Bring something tasty, clean up the house. Someone just needs someone to sit nearby, or take the kids out for a walk, or take the pets out, so the person can just be alone at home.

Everyone understands support in their own way. So if you really want to support a person, do it in the language they understand. All these conversations lead nowhere.

If I’m suffering, if I feel bad, I need someone to just stroke my head at that moment. I’ve been through this; I had a reincarnation specialist right next to me when my mother died, and I listened to a lecture.

I know all of this perfectly well, but everything inside me was crying; I didn’t want to hear anything at all, nothing smart, nothing at all. I just needed someone to comfort me at that moment.

I came up and said: “These are the rules of the game. If suddenly I feel bad, you don’t need to tell me anything, you just need to stroke me and let me release these emotions, that’s all.” And we agreed it would be that way.

So when people ask us such questions, write about loss, I don’t give smart lectures, because it’s not the time; you need to get through the pain, grieve your own, allow yourself to cry it out.

And then, when you’ve more or less come back to yourself, some questions start to appear, and then the dialogue and interaction begin.

Perhaps those who have experienced loss among their loved ones already have their own experience of how to support them during such a difficult period. We would be grateful if you share it in the comments!
