Dear Ones, we understand it can be painful and confusing if you suddenly find yourself in a state of distance between you and someone who used to be close to you. It can be easy to take it personally, but there can be many reasons why this occurs.

The person may need to separate from you in order to find their own strength and capability. It may be that the person is attempting to reject their own growth so in order to do that they must reject you as well, because your relationship with them would not support that choice. It may be there is an experience they want to explore that they fear you wouldn’t understand or approve of. It could be that they are isolating themselves or excluding themselves from the love and support of the whole. This choice is usually based on unhealed guilt, shame, or an unwillingness to receive. Or it may be that your soul contract with this person has been completed for now, and the energy just isn’t there to hold the relationship in place any longer.

As you can see from all of these examples, none of them are based on anything being wrong with you! People make all kinds of choices for all kinds of reasons. Just as your guides would do for you, honour their free will and their need for space with love, understanding, and acceptance, without taking it personally, which supports the forward movement of everyone involved. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
