A Mentor of Many

This gentleman was a father, husband, son, mentor......so many things to so many.  His passion was reading and he loved cats and looked out for those that were not taken care of......human and four legged.  He had special memories of Kaui.  So very missed by every heart that he touched.  He was so humble and did not know the scope of his touch. 

May these bracelets and amulet bring peace when they are touched.......

"Everything science has taught me - and continues to teach me - strengthens my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death. Nothing disappears without a trace.              ~Wernher von Braun

I read an incredible book "Visions, Trips, and Crowded Rooms" by David Kessler. It's about deathbed visions.  Below is the book review that I wrote:
"Visions, Trips & Crowded Rooms was so wonderful! And, truly, it makes so much sense that people would come to help you along that journey to the "next place." Such a peaceful thought. The body is merely a vessel for the spirit. The spirit never dies and this book further confirmed for me that "they" are still around after that vessel wears out.

It demonstrates that it's not the medication or pain or hallucinations; it's those souls from before coming to visit and to escort. How lovely for the caregivers and family that are able to recognize that! What an incredible experience! I feel that anyone that works in the end-of-life field, as well as doctors and family that are having to deal with this should read this book. What an insight and probably filled with answers and comfort!

In reading this I cried as if each story were about my family!"

Closure

When someone loses a person or pet in their life to death, for whatever reason, there is a void left.  There are so many thoughts & memories.  Sometimes, even anger for the "leaving".  And of course there is the sadness & heartfelt pain.  Take peace in knowing that your lost one will always be with you.  When the vessel, or body can no longer survive, the spirit lives on!  Take time to mourn, find closure and allow yourself to have sad moments, but know that "they" wouldn't want you to continue to be sad.  They love you and want you to continue on with life.  You will never forget them, that's not a possibility. 

I can tell you from personal experience that it is never easy, but I know they would hope for more smiles than tears of sorrow. 

Smile when you think of them and live life!
