Dear Mrs. Dash
Undoubtedly, your husband was stronger than death.
I am sure that he walks hand in hand with Mother through green pastures.
I am sure that the light of God will illuminate his steps.
"Death's grip can break our bodies, not our souls;
If death take him, I too know how to die.
Let Fate do with me what she will or can;
I am stronger than death and greater than my fate;
My love shall outlast the world, doom falls from me
Helpless against my immortality"
( Sri Aurobindo. Savitri Book VI: The Book of Fate Canto I )
I am profoundly grateful to have been invited to this site and I would ask you to have patience with my ignorance regarding your culture and religious beliefs. I most certainly honor you and where you are coming from in what you believe.
I am a Chaplain volunteer with Hospice and am gifted with the opportunity to spend time with patients that are diagnosed as terminal. From my perception this is a patient's time for joyful anticipation to be "going home". It is for those left behind, grieving the loss of a loved one, who find it more difficult to accept that this is a joyful time.
I am now approaching my 83rd year and there are moments when I so yearn to "go home". I frequently wonder where, when and how it will happen. When my last daughter was born I had an experience of going through the tunnel to the light, often referred to in near death experiences, only to exit into an infusion of love beyond agape, so intense I was literally absorbed by it. It was the most intensely beautiful experience with which I have been blessed.
Fear is the very last emotion one should associate with this final chapter of one's life in a body. This vehicle has been very convenient for learning the lessons our soul contracted to learn in this incarnation. We are not privileged to know the soul contracts of another, nor in most cases our own. I should only wish to add, guilt is a terrible putrefying emotion.
Dear Violette
Thank yo for your wisely suggestion about fear and guilt.I also want to know how was your near death experiene. How are you going on in your life? Do you think spirituality has helped you to live with peace in this life ? What is the positive attitude which has sustined your long life till now.My husband wanted to live it semd so.. but he was losing spirit in work since some days. He as bei g detached and thats why I as always annoyed with him. Now I feel so sad fr that. But now.. can he know that I loed him thats why I wanted him to feel energetic and positive?
