Dear Mary,
I am so sorry about the passing of your Mom. I have lost both parents
and know how difficult it was for me to accept that they were no longer
going to be there for me. Then, over time, something wonderous happened
... I began to talk to them during those quiet times when I was doing
some manual chore and my mind was wandering or when I was troubled by
something and was trying to imagine what my Mom or Dad would have done in
a similar situation. It may sound very strange, but over time, I have
had conversations with them and they have provided me with answers. I
truly believe in a life after death and that their spirit is very much
alive and guiding my steps today. I no longer miss them with the
intensity I once did because I feel that they are with me.
We are with you now. This group of very special people who have touched
death and been given the gift of another day understand better than
anyone the need for support and help to see us through those dark times
we all encounter. We are all in this together. We were there for your
Mom and you then, and we are there for you now. Please understand that
you are one of our family and family does not let its' members drift off
into the night...quietly or otherwise! Please resubscribe and share with
us your feelings and hopes. We need you as much as you need us. You are
loved and needed and it is ok to grieve the loss of your Mom and it is ok
to do that with folks who understand the reality of death and the
benefits of living. Never fear that you are bearing "bad" news or
difficult times. Who better to share those with than people who have
looked death in the eye and kept on going! So, come on home and fine
comfort and love here where you are with family.
God Bless you and know that your Mom and you are in my prayers.
John
