Abraham's Message I am Abraham How to live life and embrace death: There are so many different aspects to the human life. We have observed with great interest the evolvement of the soul as it has experienced thousands of lifetimes. Each lifetime is full of mystery, love, excitement and challenge as it is designed to be. But the end of the physical existence in each lifetime is inevitable, this is known as death. The physical body is only meant to support life for a limited period of time. The spirit is strong and lives on for eternity, occupying many different bodies in different lifetimes throughout the soul's journey of evolution and growth. We see our purpose as expanding your awareness to the full journey through life to death and the world beyond. We hope this concept of life responsibilities will be helpful to you. As we said the death of the human body is inevitable, as each lifetime is only meant to be a temporary experience for the soul. We realize that most of you would rather not think about your death or the death of someone that you love but you can be assured that death will happen, it is the natural cycle of life. It is part of your life plan. Death is returning to the loving arms of God and the reward that your soul is given for the courageous life you endured. So often we hear family members express that they never spoke with their loved one about his wishes for the end of his life care or his funeral wishes. This additional pain during an already difficult time is not necessary. Most of you spend your whole life making plans for your life, yet you seldom make plans for your death. Thinking about your death may make you uncomfortable, but preparing for your death is just as important as your life. It is all part of the journey of life no matter what age you are now. The approximate time of your physical death was decided upon by your soul/high-self at the time your life was originally designed. Since that is already taken care of shouldn't you make some decisions as to how you would like to be treated during your journey through death. This is just in the case the option arises. A sudden and painless death of the physical body is typically preferred by people but not always the situation. If this is not the situation what control do you want to have? Have you made decisions regarding your end of life wishes? Are you aware of your options? Are these wishes written down in an accessible legal form? Do you know the laws in your country or state about end of life care? Who will make medical or legal decisions for you? Is this person strong enough mentally or emotionally to carry out your wishes? Make yourself familiar with the legal papers necessary or consult an attorney. Be responsible in making sure your wants and wishes for your death and funeral are detailed so that your family does not have to worry about making the wrong decision. Do you have a last will and testament? What are your financial wishes? Do you have treasured items that you want to go to a specific person? We often see hurt feelings and struggle among family members over possessions. Wouldn't it be more considerate to leave a detailed list of your wishes. We see you have joy at giving gifts at holidays, try seeing it in the same way as you discreetly put peoples names on treasured items in your home. (This is an example we have seen in this channel's home.) If you have an family member that you feel responsible for, please help them make these important decisions while they are able. Life changes suddenly, often when you are least prepared. Every challenge that you experience has a purpose, but all challenges do not all have to be as painful as the last. If you have the opportunity to go through the journey of death with a loved one, treasure the time. Even if the time extends over a period of years, instead of spending time being resentful of the situation or in denial, learn to express your love. Talk with the loved one with compassion if possible, if not just listen. This is the perfect time to find forgiveness for times of disappointment or judgment. You can not be hurt emotionally unless you allow yourself to be hurt. You will find yourself releasing a tremendous burden of emotions that will set you free. This person gave you all that they could at the time, just as you did. Do not hold on to regrets or judgment as they will remain as open wounds long past the death. Have gratitude for the positive aspects of the relationship and try to embrace the relationship with only love. You can not fully realize how short the journey of life is until you are on the other side. Value your loved ones while you have them with you. We often hear people complain about the numerous small things a loved one does that annoy them. Constantly wanting to change them to fit their perceived needs. After a death those small annoyances are long forgotten or even missed. You will long for that persons touch or their voice and words of love. If your loved one is still with you take advantage of this time and share your words of love and give the hugs you will greatly miss when you are separated by death. Share your love and Live this relationship to its fullest. We promise you the time spent together will someday seem too short. Death is not painful, it is the journey in getting there that can be filled with fear and pain, especially if you do not understand the journey. It is certainly not something to fear or dwell on, but preparing for the inevitable is helpful for everyone involved. Love is what supports your most significant relationships and the fear of losing someone that you love to death can be as painful as the actual loss. As we said it is inevitable that you will lose someone that you love to death or they will lose you. It may be helpful to understand the magnificent journey that the deceased loved one is embarking on. Once the soul leaves the body and crosses into the light there is no pain or negative emotion, only love and joy. They are then free to expand their soul energy beyond the limitation of the physical body. God always sends his angels to bring the souls home. Once they reach the other side they have the option of moving forward with their soul journey or they may chose to stay connected with it's family in a spirit form. When you lose a loved one, no one else can replace that person in your life. They played a significant role in your life, as you did in theirs. It is helpful to learn about the grief you will be experiencing. Everyone experiences grief, yet in their own way and in their own time. We worked with Spirit and Linda in presenting you with knowledge of the soul's journey through death and the world beyond in our book "Reaching Through the Veil to Heal". The loss of a loved one typically presents you with many questions and few answers, we are hopeful that our book can answer these questions for you. I am Abraham |
