My Personal Connection to the Story

The truth was I didn’t always feel this way about death or a lot of the things I’ve shared in the last few years for that matter. I had a Spiritual Awakening right before my son turned 5 and it turned my world upside down. It threw me into a period of radical acceptance and much needed healing from a very challenging childhood. I was confronted with so many negative beliefs and fears that followed me well into adulthood. And amongst a bunch of other fun, irrational stuff was most certainly the fear of death…and I know I was not alone in that. I cannot describe exactly how I came up with this explanation in such detail almost immediately upon my son asking or how I came to this unexplainable comfort and “knowing” that death is not what it may seem- maybe it is just how my crazy brain works with all the content I have come up with, or maybe, just maybe I had some Divine help as well…
