“Dead and gone.” Such finality there is in these words. This is why death brings such shock. One moment one you love is there and in just an instant they have passed. At this point you begin telling yourself you will never see them again, and that is when your suffering begins. First, change your wording from “dead and gone” to “alive and gone on a journey.” They are more with you than ever before. If you had suddenly gone deaf and blind like your Helen Keller, would you stop talking to those around you? Of course not. It is the same with death: Most of you in the physical realm are deaf and blind to those no longer in a body, but trust us: they live on, and your suffering does not help matters. “I’m alive! I live!” they are saying to you across the veil. “It is you who has gone off on a little journey for just a while, and I am back Home. We will be joined face to face, light to light again when the time is right, but I am right there at your side in my spirit body. Alive and gone from your sight. Alive and gone from your hearing, but still so very present. Talk to me, please, as I guide you out of your blindness.”

You are so very loved.
