Cosy, Thank you for inviting me in to read this lovely blog. I am thankful I had the opportunity to say good bye to my love. I spent his last week alone with him while he died quietly in a hospital bed. He was a wonderful man. I do believe in God myself and I do believe in the spirit of the soul and life after death. If I didn't have something positive to live for what other reason would there be to live here on earth. This can not be the only reward in this life, I know this in my heart. There has got to be more at the end of this life.

Cosy, very nice, and I tend to
ignore poetry, but death seems to demand poetry. How else can one deal with it?

Cosy--
This was really nice--in my opinion, just because you cannot see a departed loved one with your eyes or hear them with your ears, does not mean they are not there with you. I always say Goodnight to all of my cats--first the three I have with me now in my physical world, and then all those I have loved who are in the spiritual world.

Cosy....That was such a sweet and sincere post...
I am hoping that when we die, there is somewhere better to go. There has to be, and although I can't even figure out where that place exists in time, I"ve gotta believe it is real. And yes, I do believe the dead can somehow feel our sorrow, our joys and our dreams. Nice job.

Cosy, I don't think that I have ever heard that song. I must look it up and listen.

Jehovah's Witnesses (as is also the case with Seventh Day Adventists)...
...DO believe in life-after-death but just not life right after death.
They believe that everybody will be raised from a sleep at the same time sometime in the future.
I'm United Methodist, and I believe that there's life immediately after death (with what we see as death only being the death of the body and not where the soul also sleeps for a time).
I don't even begin to believe that I have it all figured out but just keep trusting God that things are unfolding in the best direction in the long-run.
It's comforting to me to think that my loved ones want to reassure me of their presence in my life from time to time in one way or another--and that they also have torches to pass on to those still on this side: unfinished missions, etc.
For example, I believe that a former boyfriend named Charlie was chosen by both God and Glenn Miller to carry on a part of Glenn Miller's life here.
If I believed in reincarnation, I would go so far as to say that Charlie actually had lived before as Glenn Miller. Also, that Jim (29th_Candidate) Scileppi (find him, among other places, at Epinions.com) had lived before as Abraham Lincoln.
What I've just described is what some people interpret as reincarnation, while I see a new personality taking on part of what a deceased person is passing on to them.
Blessings!

That is beautiful...I'm very familiar with the song. Did you know my name is Cossette? It comes from that novel, "Les Miserables".

That's beautiful
Thought I'd share with you a few lines of a song that makes me think of my brother...it's from Les Miserables...(I know she's singing about her lover but I think it can apply to anybody you lost.)
And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
Without a home without a friend
Without a face to say hello to
And now the night is near
I can make believe he's here
Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers

First of all, thank you
. I fight so hard against these rooted beliefs. I don't know if you've read through my journal, but in it I relate a dream I had three years after her death where she held my hand and asked me to please let her go...then that very morning there was a detour of the usual street I took for work and the detour took me right to her accident site...I was horrified but my common sense told me it couldn't be a coincidence. What kind of "experiences" have you had? Hope 2 hear from you...

I was raised Lutheran (heaven, hell blah blah blah). I converted myself to a "scientific" mind (physics, scientific proof, blah blah blah). So on two counts, I should not say this. But I am pretty darn sure they are still around you regardless of what you are taught anywhere. When you experience things yourself, it does not matter what you have been taught.
Hope that helps somehow
