Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Thanks so much, Claudia, Thanks for all of your comforting words. They [he & his wife & kids] say that they can feel all the prayers. Everyone here is so wonderful for the prayers and energy they've been sending. It's giving the family a peaceful feeling. I keep thinking like this - what will I do and how will I live, knowing that he is not here, in the physical? What will it be like? Will it be like he's just lost..just gone? Can I still communicate with him through even when he's in the non-physical form? What if I have another out-of-body-experience like the one where I found myself in the spirit world and saw the spirits gliding, and walked through them?...Will I recognize him? If I call to him, will he know who I am? These are all the questions running through my mind right now, as I feel like my awareness is being turned and turned to the non-physical reality through him. I think I ought to be sharing my experiences with him - being as though I've been on that other side, and seen how wonderful it is..that I ought to be his peace. He already has peace though, and I'm the one who's a wreck. I'll be able to transfer my awareness and pull myself together. They don't want any visitors, I think because he feels so weak, so I will most likely never see him again. I have his photo in one of my files on the computer, from last year when he performed the marriage ceremony for my mother's second wedding. I might try to use the picture as a focal point, and try to go out-of-body to see him . I know that if I just meditate, I'll be able to transfer my awareness and pull myself together. Thanks for all the encouragement. It means a lot. Love and blessings, Tara xoxo Claudia Lambright <newtfoodbowl wrote: Hello, Tara, I know this is sad for you, but know that your uncle knows it is his time to go. It's interesting how people, when their time is near, have an inner 'knowing' of that and accept it with peace and clarity. My father in law was like that. He had pulmonary fibrosis during the last 4 years of his long life. The doctor had given him months to live. My husband went home to help his mother through his father's demise and death. Then, he had a sort of remission! Although he was on oxygen, for three years, he was feeling good, able to get around the house and go out on his front porch and sit in his rocker, which was one of his favorite things to do. It was such a wonderful time for his family to have that 'last hurrah' with him! Then, just as abruptly, he began to decine. He was having panic spells in which he was extremely short of breath, and he had to be talked through them, be instructed to relax and focus on breathing and not panic. This went on for about 4 months and was extremely draining on my mother in law. By this time, my husband and I had moved to Brunswick, where his parents live, and were living next door to them. Then, one day, I went next door to visit my in laws and my mother in law told me that my father in law had asked to be taken to the hospice. She was so stressed out and surprised by his request that she actually asked me what she should do! We called my husband, who came home from work, and we took Ed, my father in law, to the hospice. He was there for exactly one week. One week later, he passed quietly and gently from this world. I believe that the day that Ed asked to be taken to the hospice, he knew that it was his time was just around the corner. He also recognized the toll that his declining condition was taking on his wife. The week he spent at the hospice was painless and peaceful. As the American Indians would say about a passing like this one, it was a good death. Tara, your uncle knows that you love him. Pray for his gentle passage and know that he is in peace. An anticipated and nonviolent death is a blessing, and is actually celebrated on the spiritual plane, as those who have passed celebrate the impending arrival of another soul. A wonderful continuation of life on the spiritual plane is awating your uncle. I posted this book reference to the OBE Newsletter group once, and I'll share it with my friends here, too. There is a wonderful book, A Psychic in the Heartland, by Bettilu Stein Faulkner, about a psychic osteopath, the author's uncle. In one chapter, Faulkner relays the psychic's description of the passing of his aunt. As a psychic, he was able to see the non-physical body hovering over the physical body as the latter died, and the passing of life energy from the phys body into the spirit body through the silver cord. Reading that chapter gave me chills and brought tears of joy to my eyes. The entire book is just wonderful, and I highly recommend it, and especially chapter 5. I have been praying for your uncle, Tara, and I will continue to do so. I will pray for his peaceful passing and for God's blessings on you and your family. Blessings & much love, Claudia --- tara jacoby <tjmassage7777 wrote: > Hi everyone, > Well, I received an email from my cousin > tonight, and it really made me cry. > She said that my uncle [her dad] has become > extremely weak, and rarely gets out of bed anymore. > She said that he still enjoys holding conversations, > and is very clear-minded and sharp, but that the > body is giving up.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hey Tara, There are lots of great informative books out there now on past lives and the state between lives. More than enough to convince myself and many others of the 'reality' of this. Take comfort in them. For me, I am sure your Uncle can feel your love for him. And I am sure you will be with him again in one form or another soon enough. The illusion of the years until that moment is but a blink of an eye. Myself and others are sending him love and light (and you) to assist in his transition. I hope you can relax and be at peace. It will likely help him. My grandmother went over recently, I just took comfort in knowing her pain was over. I look forward to seeing her again and believe very strongly she is with me whenever I think of her. The more you can start to believe it and let go, the easier it will become. More of my relatives may pass fairly soon too, but I just know that it's okay. It is not the end. We are much more than these physical bodies. I know you know all these things and more. Yet I hope it helped that I said them. Lol, maybe it helped me more! Be at peace, bradly They don't want any visitors, I think because he feels so > weak, so I will most likely never see him again.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Tara, maybe you could just send him one of your poems or letters, since you cannot go for a visit. Make him a beautiful cratfed card. CC , " curball2002 " <curball2002 wrote: > > Hey Tara, > > There are lots of great informative books out there now on past lives > and the state between lives.
