Life After

Life goes on beyond the grave. Our family and friends will remain our family and friends, even beyond the grave. Our beloved pets will pass over to the other side and yet they will remain near, as their love for us does not diminish with death. Love does survive the grave and remains active. Love is a bond that connects them to us.

 

Those who do not believe in life after death will be in for a rude awakening when they pass beyond the grave. Look around you and you will see people in all stages of life. Some are young and death is the last thing on their minds, others have one foot in the grave and one foot on this side of life. They may have worries about life after death. Some may be looking forward to the next life. When some hear about a ghost or a haunting, they simply discount it as hogwash. For them, ghosts are not a part of the reality of life. 

 

Yet, we suggest that ghosts are evidence of life beyond the grave.

 

This is the life to get rid of our hang-ups. This is the time to let go of our bitterness and anger about past events or family issues. Life is too short to hold onto the weight of negative baggage. When we say let go, we are simply suggesting that we release the psychological and emotional anchors we hold onto so that we are free from those burdens. This does not mean we allow ourselves to be placed back into those positions that caused us such anguish, but we can learn from negative experiences while letting them go. 

Life is not perfect and we all suffer from time to time. Perhaps the best advice is, “This too shall pass!” Bad times come, but just as a clock will click off the minutes, so too shall the bad times pass.  To experience sorrow and grief is to be human, to grow from such experiences is divine.
