There is no death, for life is eternal. That which we hold most dear in this lifetime is but a microcosm of our soul's life. When we "e;shuffle off the mortal coil"e; and return home, we are reunited with both our bipedal loved ones and our four-legged fur babies. We are living in a time when the veil between the dimensions is thinning, and communication from what's often referred to as the "e;Other Side"e; is increasing. Grief is real, it is painful, it transforms us and follows us throughout our lifetime. But take heart, for those you mourn are eagerly awaiting your awakening to the fact that they can hear and see you! Do not let self doubt and fear cloud your expression of soul consciousness. Dare to speak to them, to invite them to visit you in your dreams, to notice the many, many signs they send you to get your attention. These stories are bound to make you laugh and cry as you learn from those who've recognized the signs and reached across the veil to acknowledge departed loved ones. Don't hesitate, for they are waiting to share something, or ask forgiveness, to have you feel their love, or maybe just to let you know that they are still there.
