Deceased loved ones

Lizzie, that is such a shame..Spirit trys so hard in every way that they can to stay connected with us... Look into ADCs (after death communications) and perhaps you will recognize a sign sent your way...

Well, I figure it is a trade-off of sorts. I have the ability to communicate at a more than superficial level with people while they are here- just not after someone passes on. It's okay to tell you the truth. My plate is pretty full as it is.

My Mom who passed 28 years ago, the memories are gentle of the good and happy times. I still hear her admonishing me when I do things she wouldn't like. :)

My sister who just passed very recently, there is a huge hole in my life. My mind still wanders to recent things we talked about and did.

My love for them both is still strong. They both have been and always will be in my heart.

My sister just died this week. It's the hardest thing I've ever gone through. The problem right now is I can't get the images of her final moments out of my mind. It was agonizing to see her that way. I just hope that fades as time goes by and other better memories fill it in. All this has made me extremely aware of my own mortality and just how short and precious life is.

My condolences, hon.

Remember your sister not as she was leaving. That was just a shell of her self. Stare at pics of her laughing until that is the image in your head...and know that IS what she is NOW. Plus, she is pure spirit. She is at peace. And she knows you are upset and only remember her last moments. Make yourself and her feel better by removing that image asap with other pics of her. Do it now. Today. And do it until in your mind, that is all you see.

Hugs

Religion has nothing to do with recognizing that a loved one is deceased.

You said "Deceased loved ones. what do you feel about them ?" The premise is that our loved ones are dead; no longer living. Then you asserted that we shouldnt say that they are dead because that sucks. So why did you start this thread then?

When someone is deceased that are indeed dead. Some people have beliefs that people have souls and that never dies. Thats great and all but it does little good in the here and now of this reality we call life. I sat and watched my Mom die, I saw her lifeless body. SHe was dead there was no doubt about it. She will never comeback. I accept that fact and hold on to the memories of her living and the love that will never die. ANd when no one exists that remembers her or even me, the concept of that love will live in principle, much like any other human philosophical construct.

The dead live in the memories the living. Countless people though are dead that no one remembers.

you may discuss it in my " death" thread in the same forum
 
Nobody is really dead. Maybe in this realm, but overall....I think the spirit lives on forever. We are all energy...and go back to the core. Dead? Not really. Just moved on.

My sister died a bit over a month ago. Though I can see her final minutes in my minds eye, I can also hear her final words to me: I love you. THAT is what I carry with me. :)

In time you'll sort these last memories into their proper context (whatever that is for you). In the meantime, I am so sorry you have to go through this, but go through it you must.

Time is everything.
