Death is Inevitable ~ Suffering is Optional ~ Grief is Necessary

People are dying every day – that’s a fact.

The population of the United States is approximately 319 million people. A little over two and a half million people die each year. Those numbers increase every year as the baby boomer generation continues to age.

Would it be safe to say then, that a majority of the baby boomer generation have experienced the death of several family members or friends over the years?

Experiencing the death of a loved is usually accompanied by grief, in some shape or form. Experiencing the loss of several family members or friends may equate to more grief than one is capable of handling.

The Heart Wants What the Heart Wants

You may have heard me say “we take ourselves with us”, over and over again. I mean that on so many levels. We take our unresolved issues, unexpressed thoughts, and even our broken hearts with us when we die. As far as I am concerned this is wonderful!

Why? Because it proves we are still accessible, vulnerable and available for conversation when in spirit. I have the pleasure of bearing witness to this phenomenon each and every day. Because as long as those in spirit, our dearly departed, ancestors and friends, are accessible and available – connection, communication, and conciliation is possible. And therein lies the blessing.

Enjoy Yourself – It’s Later Than You Think

(This article is a message directly from my mother, Leah, who is in spirit. She felt the need to ring in the New Year with loving wisdom for us all. I hope you will enjoy!)

Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think. Not to be all doom and gloom, but to be realistic.

I always felt as if my life had been swept up by some forceful river and carried along at a pace I was sometimes comfortable with, other times, not so much. Though on some level I felt I had all the time in the world, there was a secret place within me, shared with no one, which I felt I had to enjoy every single minute – now – because it was later than I thought.

Let There Be Peace On Earth

 

The holidays can be a depressing time of the year for those who have recently lost a loved one. I know that all too well.

Christmas 1995, was the most depressing Christmas of my life (to date).  My mother, Leah, was killed in a car accident on December 16th. The depression from which I suffered was a combination of shock (“My mother – what? – died in a car accident”) and emptiness (“Where is my mother? What does it mean she is gone?”) I was numb.

Grateful for Hugs

Grief stricken could not even begin to describe my state of being after learning my mother had died in a car accident.

Thrown into the first stage of grief, denial, I walked around numb, dazed and confused. I did not believe any of ‘it’ was true.

My mother?

Dead?

That’s just not possible. There is no room for negotiation.

She must be around here – somewhere!

Lessons You Are Not Taught In School

There are so many great subjects we learn about as we move through the many stages of life and the many grades of schooling we receive.

However, there is a subject which was never talked about in school, let alone taught, and that was the subject of life after death, or the afterlife.

Strength in Numbers

How often have you felt isolated, alone, and wished you had someone to talk to?  Someone with whom you could hash out nagging issues, run something by, discuss options and alternatives and feel connected, supported and loved?

Imagine if you knew there would always be someone there when you needed a helping hand or a caring, compassionate ear?
