One soul to another, everything set aside...everything that came before meaningless...just a communication that everything will be just fine on your voyage and I love you. It's a hammer to your very being but strangely it feels good even though you cry. To me it's like a piece of me passed with her but it's ok since we all get together in the end. My "piece" is not lost, it's just borrowed for awhile. She needed it more than me at the time I guess.
We are all going to be ok. So stop fretting about "stuff." It's all BS anyway. You, and I, are going to be just fine...all of us. One of two things, God doesn't exist and so we become inert and don't know anything or He does and there is a hereafter and it's beautiful. So therefore, IMO...there is nothing to fear. No downside, only up.
I appreciate the post. I've been a caretaker for my mom for the last few years and I've watched her slip away physically and mentally and it's not an easy thing to watch, at least, for me.
I like what you wrote here and it's nice to hear that you had some positive experience with her passing. I think that's how it should be. Not that you don't feel loss, but it's good to experience something positive too. Not sure I'm explaining it very well, but I liked what you wrote.
