Death and Dying

This article explains a few things about Grief, and if you're interested, then this is worth reading, because you can never tell what you don't know.

For over 15 years, I served the needs of the dying. They taught me a great deal about living. Every day we go and grow through a transformation process. We are constantly letting go of the old and taking in the new. We are never the same. We become closely related to our thoughts, desires, intentions, and experience.

Think about it for a moment. When you buy a new car, it eventually wears out. Along the way your car will change. You adjust to the changes and shift your lifestyle to live in accordance to the car's ability and capability of use. The same is true with your body. It is your vehicle. It is what you use to get around the world in.

Because we often define our own destiny, it is vital that we become aware of our thoughts. Becoming aware of our awareness is the first step in being able to determine the direction of our lives. Now, we don't know the future totally, but we can pre-determine a great deal of it through putting our thoughts into action.

It continues to amaze me how my parents and people I cared for in the dying process used to tell me they were ok. We adjust our lives and our destiny in relation to how we accept and embrace the path that is before us.

Truthfully, the only difference between you and Grief experts is time. If you'll invest a little more time in reading, you'll be that much nearer to expert status when it comes to Grief.

Something happens when we experience loss. Our emotions are heightened. We feel what is inside us. We begin to pay attention to our soul. This inward look at ourselves allows us to find our true identity. It is our soul. We come alive from the inside out. We are in a real way becoming more soul than body.

This article's coverage of the information is as complete as it can be today. But you should always leave open the possibility that future research could uncover new facts.
