Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Namaste' I woke up early this morning and was looking through my email to find this thread on despair. Mother always times everything perfectly because in these past few days I have been journeying through the deepest, darkest place I have ever been. My 26 year old son, Casey Adams, was killed by strangers while camping with friends this past Saturday night. My grief has been overwhelming at times and I honestly don't know how I will ever see light again. I know that it has been my sadhana and the love of Maa manifesting as all of our friends and family that is carrying me through. I know that when people comment on my being strong that it isn't me, because I can't do this. It is God holding me up. Coming to my own practice has been hard. Especially once I realized that my son died while I was chanting the UPS mantras. Anyway, I'm sure you can all imagine the devastation that my family, Casey's friends and myself are experiencing. I need some help with something though... Some time ago we were discussing mantras to chant upon the death of the physical body. I don't have it in me to find whatever it was that would be most helpful to be doing so if someone could help me to find those mantras I would be very grateful. Thank you...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Dear Morningsong, I am so so sorry to hear about your loss. Of all the losses in this world, the loss of a child is the hardest to bear, and She is testing you to the full. I pray you find the light in your heart again. Nothing I can say will truly help and heal so soon. But remember, Shree Maa Sarada Devi too was distraught with grief when Shree Ramakrishna passed away. Finally he appeared to her and said, " What are you doing? I have not gone away, I have only passed from one room to another. " Please allow me to share these lines with you for they have always brought me comfort. " Do not stand at my grave and weep. I'm not there, I do not sleep. I'm a thousand winds that blow. I'm the diamond glint on snow. I'm sunlight on ripened grain. I'm the gentle rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I'm the swift uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circled flight. I'm the soft stars that shine in the night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I'm not there. I did not die. " With lots of love.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Beloved one, At times like this it is so difficult to know the right thing to say. I pray that the love expressed and the prayers offered will be a bridge to lift you and your family above the sorrow and the soul of Casey to the heart of Mother.
