Death, Why Worry?

  • Death,Why Worry? We often view death with great sadness. Its a time reserved for solace and self-pity. But why?

    We for far to long, allowed death to be the end of life. We mustn't accept that! Death is not the final part of life. 

    It is true, we will sincerely miss the person who has moved on, seemingly without us. This therefore allows us a period of mourning, a chance to feel sorry for ourselves. We often hear the words "Sorry for your loss" Yet, we have lost nothing.

    The reality is, the departed one is in the best position of all,they are with God! They are once again with family and friends who have transitioned previously. Perhaps, one of the best parts is, they are still with us. Guardian angels, Spirit guides call them what you may, they are watching over us.

    We are always one.

    We need to shift our view of life, death is not the end of life. Death is the next phase of life!

    Death must be viewed with wonderment, as our next great adventure, death is our opportunity to experience the love and grace of god, with God! Celebrate I say! Our time on earth is short, yet we always share the oneness of God.

    Love keeps us always together.
