Death and Dying
Guilt
Diane to God:
Dear God, I keep holding onto Molly's physical death and feeling guilt and pain, sadness and fear. I tried to do everything I could to make her physical life comfortable, and I feel like I have failed in her last days of sickness and death. My husband keeps remembering how she stuck her finger down her throat, trying to get more air. I fear that she suffered, and that I should have done something more or something different.
I know You said her time of death would ha...

Death and Dying
Beloved Ones, the passage into death is not one to be feared, but one that signals the completion of one phase of life so that another can begin. For in truth, there is no such thing as death, only ongoing life for souls in an ever-expanding process of exploration and learning. The journey is infinite, as are the capacities of each and every soul.
Nevertheless, the emotions created by the loss or anticipated loss of a beloved one are painful to the ones who remain behind, even when there has ...

Death and Dying
There is an interesting phenomenon that I call the Pendulum Effect, the fact that sometimes, in order to create the change we want, it is necessary to swing the pendulum to the extreme opposite end so that it may finally come to rest in a centered, balanced position. That is my explanation for the tragic events of September 11th, 2001. I also believe there may have been other ways to get to this same point, ways that would not take the same toll in human loss and suffering, yet I admit that I pe...

Death and Dying
How can we help and support someone who is grieving? Here are ten tips:
1. Call weekly, twice weekly, daily, or weekends, whichever is appropriate. Try to do it at the same time of day. If you call at 6 p.m. (as an example) daily, weekly, or whenever, they know when you will be calling and have something to look forward to. Once you've established a routine, throw in a surprise call and see how that is received. Maybe the person who is grieving appreciates surprises. You'll have to experiment...

Death and Dying
I became a widow at the young age of twenty-six. My husband was an environmental scientist who was killed in a small plane crash in the interior of British Columbia that not only took his life but those of the pilot and all three passengers. The year after this devastating event in my life I decided to move back east to my home town of Ottawa which gave me a chance to reconnect with my siblings and their young broods.
One day my 4-year old niece Linda and I had spent a lovely summer’s d...

WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE TO AWAKEN TO A DAY WITH OUR HEARTS
open to our pain?
What would it be like to approach the mean habit of rejecting our pain, which turns it into suffering, with mercy and awareness? When we are no longer mesmerized by our wounds or making a religion of the pain by which we so often define ourselves, we stop running for our lives.
Some years ago, sitting next to a fifteen-month-old child whose cancer had begun in her mother's womb, as I prayed for her life, some- t...

Death and Dying
Sandra to God:
Dear God, I would like to know about the existence of miracles. Not about flowers growing and birds singing, but a miracle such as good health restored. Will You answer?
[Sandra has been married for many years to a man twenty-five years her senior. Her husband is now 80 and has serious heart trouble.]
God:
I always answer.
Yes, there are the miracles such as you speak of. What seems irreversible is reversed. The blind shall see, and the lame shall walk. You under...

Death and Dying
An 18 month-old girl lay dying of diphtheria in January of 1944. It was before the widespread use of antibiotics. In fact, the antibiotics were reserved for the troops fighting in World War II. That's where the little girl's father was...on Iwo Jima.
The young mother took her fever-ridden child to the hospital in hopes that something could be done to save her precious child. The mother was told that there was little that could be done. The fever was much too high for the child to survive. Ice...

Death and Dying
We are still reeling from the events of September 11, 2001 and may be doing so for some time. This doesn??t even take into account any military action which seems imminent. On a personal level, as well as on a consciousness level, we are feeling the emotional "aftershocks" of a day of great loss of life and barbaric acts. The media is going through a process of uncovering more information which in turn directs our internal process. First we are given body counts, numbers. Then these numbers are ...

Death and Dying
A client told us that he's had at least seven bad accidents
throughout his life. At the scene of the last one (a car
roll-over), after walking away without a scratch, a stranger
told him "God has something special for you." He asked us if
those accidents could have been his possible destined times
of death and what God might have in store for him. Our
answer to him is below.
According to expert astrologers, numerologists, past life
regression therapists, and life between life researc...
