hope

katerinag,

I wanted to let you know that I have been to the other side and returned to this world but I had a choice to stay or return. Perhaps for your mom, she decided to stay on the other side because she had done what she came into this world to do. As attached as you are to her, know that she is attached to you. I have also had dear friends pass away and a grandfather who are now with me always. They are there with me and send me messages of love and support from the other side. Not words so much as cheering from timelessness. Know that as we leave our body behind, we go to the light. All of the pain and suffering we experience in this life falls away. We are greeted by love itself(all of us-no exceptions) when we arrive on the other side. "There is no sting in death- We travel from life to life" and it is a marvelous life
where we go when we leave this world.

Did you know you chose your mother before you were born? And she chose you. If it had been the other way around, I know you would allow her to grieve for you. But you would also want to comfort her. Your mother is wanting to comfort you now. She is there beside you and there she will always be... cheering you on. Stay conscious of her love and as the days grow to years, you will find her loving spirit is a comforting thing even though today you hurt... It is okay to hurt...as the days of being sad pass, when you recognize a smile on your face, I hope that sometimes you will recognize smiles coming from loving memories of
times you spent with your mother... Know that every loving and joyful memory we have in our lives go on beyond this world and become a part of who and what love is when time ends. I hope you will add to the love that is your mother's legacy for you... Your mother can not see you when you cry now...she can only see you when you shine...so shine on dear one...

Love and Light... Joyful Laughter... this is your mother's legacy... I hope for you that it is yours too...
