Doing for others what they could do for themselves is the primary trait of many co-dependents who find themselves in a significant relationship with an addicted person and as a result we must learn to temper our compassion with detachment and impersonality so that we might honour the responsibility of each individual to take control of their place on their path.

Death is harvest time and can be looked upon as a transition which is not so much a trauma, but rather an easing into another realm. Esoterically, suicide and murder are wrong because they prematurely halt a karmic episode, wasting time, even though we can only lose our bodies through these experiences, not our energetic lives.

The more open to guidance we are, the better we can serve another's true needs. Watching another's suffering tests our faith and in order to be a good carer, counsellor, healer, lover, partner, parent or friend, we need to be able to allow ourselves to care without expecting a particular outcome. If we can honour the ways in which we are changed by our participation in another's life, happiness, suffering, dying or physical recovery, true change and growth will occur.

"Sudden" change may actually have taken lifetimes to achieve and we need to have faith that all change is for the better in the long term, even if that term extends into the next incarnation. As we achieve greater emotional and mental control and learn to work in spiritual harmony, we will consciously create the emotional and mental realms that we inhabit.
