Hey Squish,
You wanna know what we know about death?
It’s not as bad as you think.
Sure, no one wants to die slowly and painfully, but just know, once the dying is over, there is no more pain.
Don worries he’ll get forgotten…
But you know better, right? People don’t forget, they just aren’t capable of carrying all the pain of loss in every moment of every day. And even if they do forget, your being on the earth was a gift for that time, for those people.
Plus…your essence doesn’t die. Whether people realise it or not, the gift of you does not end when they can’t see or touch you anymore. It’s more than just memories, too. Your spirit, not in the ghosty sense, but in the energetic one, still lives on and encourages and supports others.
Have you ever wondered why you notice the beauty of a bumblebee landing on a blooming flower? It’s those who have gone before you, reminding you of beauty. Ever get a burst of courage that you aren’t sure where it came from? That’s the energy of the love of those who live on beyond this earth.
And so, when you, too, leave your failing body for good, you will live on.
So if that’s the case, death doesn’t seem so negative, does it? Circle of life and all that.
Don’t be afraid. Let peace wash over you when you think of dying.
It’s not over when it’s over.
Believe.
