This was my first observation when I visited the cemetery where an apple tree has been planted in memory of my husband's death. I noticed that I am still feeling sensitive when I am looking at an apple tree.
By recognizing that death has the capability to stretch out its arm and tap you on the shoulder to let you know that the final day has come, you will always be aware that time is fleeting. Like the shadow that mirrors your every footstep, the entity of death is like the shadow in each day. But, if you embrace death as a friend or respected acquaintance, it will be your reminder to live life fully. No one encourages death, but by understanding that it will come to each of us, we can learn to make better decisions in life; decisions to feel proud of. Acknowledge its existence as a reminder to strive for optimum happiness each day.
Some writers refer to a realm, the borderland, found at the outer edge of the mental realms, where all the material aspect of life is manifest in its purest state. It is believed that the soul who gets here in this realm is definitely aware of a change, or awakening. Senses are sharper and more sensitive. The soul/spirit finds its true being. In this realm, one feels like one just emerged from a hazy daze. The surroundings are familiar- places, faces of people you've known who passed on before you, some unknown souls who may have shared some connection on earth.
But how to find out if someone died if you have nothing more than a name to go on? You might not even be sure that you've got the name right. You may have to painstakingly search through obituaries, cemetery records, funeral home records, genealogy databases, social security information and lots more. You might have to do this for many states if you don't know where they lived. You might even have to look for leads in many countries.
If a friend or relative can't attend a funeral in person, for whatever reason, this great technology called funeral webcasting can allow the person to attend the service anyway. With funeral webcasting, no matter where in the world you are, you can attend a funeral service from the comfort of your own home via the internet.
You see, it may be true that I'm not perfect, but by the same token, I don't feel guilty for not being perfect because I'm doing the best that I can. I do not feel like a sinner, although with such strict guidelines, as in the 10 Commandments, I've probably broken a few. Still, I have more integrity and ethics than most others that I meet, most everyone I have met in fact, and I really didn't need a lecture from the pastor at the local church.
We are in the Internet age and people from all over the world share their lives together on the Internet. and that includes amazing, beautiful funeral poems they write for their own loved ones.
Yes, the unknown if always fearful-, but I want to try to comfort you who fear, by saying; we will not face death alone. Christ indeed conquered death and cleared the way for us. We are going to conclude our study of the guardian angels, but I can promise you, there is a wealth of biblical information I could not offer due to limitation. Seek and ye shall find, if you have that desire.
