What I Share With Those Facing Death of a Loved One | Or, What's Beyond This Physical Plane

There have been a lot of deaths in and among my community in the past two months. I have found myself in the role repeatedly of being part of a community that uplifts, prays, holds space for and even howls into the wind with those who suffer and grieve. 

 

And it's also been a season of needing to find the words. We often say "there are no words," but I tend to feel like that's not good enough for the people we love most. Even if we can't find the right words, we need to find SOMETHING. 

 

This episode contains two of the stories I have been sharing with those walking through unimaginable grief in an effort to offer some peace as well as an expansive view that connects us to things well beyond the failing bodies around us.

 

These stories don't simply apply to death, but to any time we wish to believe in and surrender to the idea that there is SO MUCH MORE, as shrouded in mystery as it is, and to choose to believe in the mysteries.
