I'm missing you...

Death... is the place where we end the chapter in our book of life and is the right place to begin a new chapter on our eternal journey. Frances Johnson, RScP

Death is an impatient gesture of the soul, wishing to rid itself of the body, no longer useful. The Science of Mind, page 478 paragragh 1


When it's time to leave the earth plane, most of us are not ready. We wonder what is next. All that we have studied and have been told are beliefs that were passed on to each of us.

Even most times the survivors are not ready for our loved ones to go. I have been thinking about this with so many people leaving the earth. We the survivors are left to live on without the physical form that we have come to know and become familiar with. It is alright in my opinion and belief to grieve, to feel sad, cry and just not be ourselves but only for a time. I am not sure what amount of time is right for each one of us. What I do believe is if we trust "God" to lead and guide us, we will know when to stop grieving and move forward in our lives.

What do we say to the survivors? Just be present and encourage them that their loved ones would want them to live fully although they are no longer here in physical form. Do listen to the grieving person and try not to become so philosophical or religious at this time. Most of these kinds of conversation are being receive on deaf ears. There is usually plenty of time later to talk and share some of your wisdom. If a person comes to you for advise, use wisdom when speaking with people who are going through this experience.

I experienced the transition of my brother, a year ago and I wanted ears to listen to some of the experiences that I had shared with my brother. I wanted to be around loving people. When I was alone, I remembered how kind some of my friends and family had been to me. This is something we can all do. We must find our own way to be supportive in situations like these.

Meditation

Contemplate on: There is a peace and comfort that is within me that surpasses human understanding.

Affirm: I am in the arms of my Father within and so is my loved one who has moved onward and upward.

Path to Silence: Take 3 deep relaxing, cleansing breaths. Go into the silence for at least 3 minutes.
