It seems there is a lot of need for deeper understanding of life and death at this time in my personal experience. Several of
my friends have recently had loved ones who have made their transitions from this physical plane. Often when a person passes, the question of "why" becomes a prominent theme in
the grieving process. I have never found the question of "why" to be productive. Life is not laid out after some "appropriate" pattern as people would
like to think. It is an experience – ever-changing, volatile, dynamic. We all have different challenges and experiences,
depending on what we signed up for before we came here. Being in this physical experience calls all of us back to the Oneness, the Allness of God. We are all moving in that
direction, whether we know it or not. And for all of us, the ultimate return to God is death. I don't know of any other way
to do get out of this body and back in the Wholeness that created us except through death's door. Often it is easier to accept the sting of death if our loved one
has lived a long, full life. It seems harder for us if the loved one was still young, with so much life not yet
lived. Death is a returning to God, a returning to Creator. God does not "take" our loved one. The loved
one's spirit seeks to return to the perfect place of Wholeness, and some souls are unable to find their
way to live in this body experience. The only way to return to Wholeness, the Oneness, the Allness is by releasing the body.
When a loved one passes, we mourn. That is natural and appropriate for there is an absence in our lives.
Yet in that mourning, let there be celebration that our loved one is free of whatever confined him or her.
Those who die are not victims. They live on - eternal, radiant, complete, and perfect. In the moment that a person releases the body, they remember
who they really are – a divine and holy, perfect, Child of God! For those who have left the planet, may their passing open many hearts to love deeper, hug longer, be
kinder, and to remember that this physical experience is not the beginning or the end. It is a page in the long book of our eternal lives. Namaste`
