For those of you that have recently lost a loved one, the intensity of your pain may be indescribable, unlike anything you have ever experienced before.
Friends and relatives try to console you by saying that time will heal the pain-and for some this may be true. However, quite often when we lose someone we are very close to, we carry the pain of our grief to our own grave.
Death is inevitable, but knowing this alone does not make it any easier to endure the loss of a loved one. It is through knowledge of the soul's journey that we find comfort and healing.
Death is part of the soul's journey from one lifetime to another, yet our Western society does not understand about death. This lack of knowledge about the soul's journey through death creates unnecessary fear and often leaves us unprepared for the roller coaster of emotions that we experience when we are facing our own death or the death of a loved one. These emotions are part of the natural grieving process, but again, we know little about that process until we are immersed in the intensity of these emotions.
