For the past two years, I have been writing my second book, Healing the Heart of Grief, Stories of Hope from the Afterlife. The book is finally in production and I am hopeful that it will be released by October 31st. I would like to take this opportunity to share an excerpt from my first book, A Second Chance to Say Goodbye.
Every person has a glimmer of light within. However, it may be obscured by fear and ego. Most of the time we don’t focus on letting this light shine. We clutter our minds with material thoughts. We worry about the past and are anxious about the future. To understand the condition of the departed soul relation to its loved ones still on Earth, make an analogy between our bodies and our homes. Usually most people live in several different houses during their lifetimes. They have new relationships when they move. The relationships they had in their old home may change, but the ties still remain. In other words, the soul may leave its house (body), but the ties to loved ones, and sometimes enemies, still remain.
No matter how many homes we live in, each relationship we share while living in these homes has a lasting impact on our life. Some relationships are stronger that others and the love from these relationships remains with us throughout our lives. For example, when our children leave home for college they begin new relationships. The ties they had with their parents change, but the connection is still there even though their homes have changed. Dying is a similar situation. Our soul moves through many bodies or lives, which, in theory, throughout these lives with our loved ones never dies.
Spend some time in contemplation. Go deep within yourself, beyond your ego, beyond your belief system and test your soul. This part of you is what will communicate with your loved one. Your belief system is part of your rational, thinking mind. Your soul transcends this limited aspect of your mind. This is the way it is supposed to be, a connection from soul to soul.
