Cause of Death: cancer but inner unawareness of spiritual level; Aged: 76. --Details: She was clinging for no reason terribly thin and i aske dher if she had a secret or anger that kept her on earth she said NO so I told her she had my permission to die to let go..as I left the hospice I clapped my hands very strongly outside to help her detach. The next day she passed away........After her death I was in India in Rishikesh and held her pink quartz stone that she held up to her death ...in visoion she asked me to throw it into the ganges----which I did (creid two days before having to etach form it) but it was a definate wish from her.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - T O P I C A L S - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --Death Is: passing into differnt dimension - formless - a libeartion and an awakening but if energy on life earth incomplete you meet your emons afte death and this is wher eprayers and guidance is needed to get through and realise that they are illusions and connected to when we had a body. Pull of soul to get back into a body sometimes can be too too strong as habits kick in and fear, so on prayers we can tell them to not be pulled back in the love making of all the couples on earth - avoid the vortice and detach an be strong. --The first time I ever experienced someone's death, I accepted it and saw them on a noble journey --The Most Vivid memory I have of this most recent death is: Illness can be a grae at times as Light comes into a person. My mother undressed her self of all her MIND and I saw great light and we got very close . Not so in life. Once she accepted too that she could not control Death she foung peace... we had time to say many things and the most signiifcant thing is LOVE. You just Love them so much!!! --What I think my (India) culture needs to better learn about death is: People are generally scared of Death. It is a great teacher. an we die often in life and daily. There is no reason tohave fear. Live the present. We are graced with this body but we are NOT this body. --One gift for which I shall always be grateful is: I was and am contacted by the departed person , my mother and I feel that she is free and liberated. Her love is actually almost physical at times and she leaves her scent. --What was of most support to me in my experience with death was: none really. --And the most difficult for me in my experience with death was: letting go. realising that you can no longer hold them. --Regarding just Being There for someone dying, my advice would be: to be there for them always and make sure they are not alone at night and that days don't pass where no one goes to see them. Even sleeping in the room with them and eating with them. Caressing them and reading to them. --[My Mother's] death taught me so much. I'd have others know how I: That only LOVE remains in the end. All else is futile. All is accepted. No reason for blaming or forgiving. Love Love Love and gratitude that they have been a part of our lives. We carry them with us in us forever. They enriched us an hopefully vice versa. Everyone we meet n life we meet for a reason or have already met before and need to close Karma with them. LOve --Regarding Humor in the death process, I'd just say that: of course. Why not.!! it is not taboo. Death is also nto sad. it has lessons and lessons also in laughter for us. Only society tells us to be drab abd sad. Rubbish. It is also a celelbration and th person dying often leaves us their energythat they had of great sense of humour an laughter too. --Not that it's a regret, but I would like to have better had time to: nothing to change. Things happen as they should . Hve no guilt and no remorses. They are useless. The departed Love utterly once gone and are suffering is not a help if riffen with guilt. --But some things worked out so well... I'm SO GLAD I was able to: sayb last things to her and let her know how much I loved her --I can get all teary-eyed just thinking about it all again when: its normal. Death And Love are timeless. The emotions are always there ; Always will be. We will reunite withthem later perhaps. Cry and laugh. --In another dimension of Life where this all had never happened... They come in their astral bodies and yes they visiti and tell us we are loved by them and that they are ok too. --Sometimes I think: It's just not fair... its not fair only if you think you are always in control and do not accept things the flow of the river of life.... --When it really hit me... when I realized & acknowledged the death, I you can but accept.It takes what it take sbut in the end you have to accept. --Regarding HOSPICE etc: Great humanity an LOVE more than in the outside world. I wanted to stay in the hospice and help others too. - - - - - P e r s o n a l H i s t o r y - - - - - How'd I do? Well acceptance and blocking nothing out. tallking to the departed and feeling where they were out of the body after death What Hindered me most in my dealing with death?
