Thank you so much for your post. My deepest condolences.

As you know, I have also tended the deaths of beloveds. I am still amazed a the golden child stage of death that many folks enter just before they die.

I still do not know much about where we travel too. I too have only gone as far as the living are allowed to go while traveling with the dying.

The one thing that has been present on all of these journeys, is ‘love beyond all reason’. A love beyond my full comprehension fills me completely. It fills all that surrounds me. It shimmies and shakes my whole being. I am never the same when I come back home. Yes, I am still awash with grief. But, the ‘love’ is still palpable in every breath I take, every step I make. I am often aware of the sheen of this ‘love’ infusing my day to day life.

I must say, I do love going to the parties thrown at the Roadhouse of the Dead. But, I still ache for the taste, feel, smell, sight, voice of my beloveds almost every day.

May we all, the living and the dead, dare to dwell in beauty, balance and delight.

You will be in my thoughts on Saturday. I remember seeing Raven float out of his body…

Yet how wonderful that you were able to be with her and how thoughtful that you brought in her favorite painting. It may have brought comfort to her. <br/><br/>I certainly don't have any wisdom to add on the subject of physical death but only wanted to say thanks for the wonderfully written post.

I continue to feel it was one of the great privileges of my lifetime to witness you helping Raven cross. I too, saw the painted toenails,and felt my awe in your fearlessness in taking Raven close. I am so glad to know you on this side of the veil. It's helped me trust crossing over to the other when my time comes. Your mother was blessed to have you as her daughter.
