Death Experience

I want to tell you about the change in the room when my Mum passed a few weeks ago. We knew she was going to pass but we did not know when. She was just peacefully sleeping. The nurses came to do their 3 hourly reposition as they had done for the last few days. We stepped out of the room. Two minutes later they called us in quickly saying she was taking her last breath. I felt panic until I walked back to her.

Suddenly I wanted to laugh with sheer and utter joy. It was more than the increase in temperature, the atmosphere was indescribable. Thick and warm and so utterly FULL OF LOVE. I said to the nurses Can You Feel That? I looked at Mum and I wanted to shout Hooray!!! I was overwhelmed with joy for Mum & I didn't understand the extent of this feeling but then I realised....I could FEEL the joy of reunion. I could FEEL my family coming to take her home. I could FEEL Mum's relief at being released from her broken body. She could now fly!

A few weeks later, do I mourn? Yes. But not for her. For me. I can no longer chat to her over a cup of tea or be near her, embrace her.

Would I have her back now I know she has experienced the beauty of Life After Death?

Yes but only for a moment. I love her so much I want her to be free of our human constraints & remember that Love & Life do not die.
