Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Death is neither beautiful nor kind, it is not delicate or courageous, and it is not pretty or neat. Death is a final closing on a lifetime. It is lingering or sudden, it is cold and removed, it is personal. Deeply, personal. There is no saying what was left unsaid, there is no correcting prideful moments of future regret. In and of itself death kills more than the one person dying. It hurts, pains, and kills the hope of healing, closure and the chance to make right the things that went wrong. Remember you can do it right, starting now... for it is never too late. Don't wait, when you can reach out so another can reach back. This is why dying should be honored. It represents the part of life that no one can avoid, turn from or escape. Death is the part of life that you will do alone. It is the silent companion that waits in the shadows to claim its companion. But in this, in this very process is the chance for new understandings, renewed hopes and clarity of self. How brutally pointless or harsh you may think this is, but if it were not for these moments could you inspire, support, guide or even heal – no. These are the deciding moments of life itself. For how you honor your dying and dead, speaks to how well you respect life. There are no answers, there is nothing of comfort we can say to you that you has not already heard, been told or rejected. In the end it is up to you to find peace within yourself, no one else can do that but you. And for some it may take time. But, you are not alone. In Spirit and in God, there is the singular connection to creation and the ongoing processes of life. It is the soul, the very spirit, which leaves the body at death, this aspect of life, the soul, goes on and remains much the same in its identity. When you die, you will be reunited with those that you had a connection to within this life, there will be a time of choice, and they will wait for you, and you them. There is only oneness, wholeness and understanding when you transition. There is no pain, it is only what you see, what you perceive to be pain that pulls you in. But, to the individual identity there is no suffering, for Spirit and God does not impart suffering to its creation. This is why, when we speak of death, you must, simply must, realize the finality of it within this lifetime, and the time you have remaining within your own life on this planet. So often we say: 1)Make good choices 2)Be forgiving and practice tolerance 3)Do the right thing, not for yourself, but for the greater situation at hand 4)Realize that when you are hateful or angry it is only you that you are eating up on the inside, and that will manifest within your life, and physical body 5)Be kind, just be kind Death should not be forgotten. It should be remembered and you should remember how it feels to loose someone you care about, because that keeps you connected to your humanity. Yes, we are aware that you like things to be said to you that are upbeat, joyful, and fluffier. But dear ones, life is not always going be fluffier. It is by learning to respect this process of death, to accept that there is no understanding or even sense to some of the thing that happen to you, that you can begin to free yourself from the fear of loss, depression and anxiety. For it is said: HIS WAYS OUR NOT YOUR WAYS… and in this there is great truth. For no one, and there is no one born, living, or who has been that can know Spirit, or God. For how can anyone grasp that which is beyond comprehension? Respect life and enjoy the time you have with each other. Try to use the loss of someone as a tool to teach, inspire, and provide comfort and support for and to others who are going through the same thing. For when you hold the light of faith, you are no longer blind, for you are leaning on the greatest thing that there is: Spirit and God. Walk forward and shine that light with appreciation and pride.
