We often wonder, what is Omar doing now that he crossed the tunnel to the Other World? Does he continue to live life fully but in spirit form? Does he see us? Is he guiding and watching his Mom? Does he see what his brother is experiencing? The answers, we can catch glimpses of, through gifted mediums, or through an intuition, or spiritual visitations, but until we meet again, we won't know exactly what life is really like on the Other Side. This section is in honor of Omar's memory who passed away very quickly from undiagnosed hydrocephalus (water in the brain). Here I share a little bit of my nephew's presence, my sister's soul.... through her art and words and my own thoughts. |

Creativity is very healing for my sister Norma, as she often feels her son's presence and love while painting. The images of these two paintings reminds me of portals and bridges into another world. Like my sister's spirit which is filled with strength and grace, I am touched that in the midst of her sorrow, her paintings reflect the light within her. I see a a touch of peace, light and the promise of something beautiful across the bridge. Her painting, "Angel Dust" is on the cover of January's 08' Wisdom Magazine |
| I Writing a book on transforming grief is a sensitive subject as we all are all unique, with own belief system, and what gives comfort to one may not work for another, but I decided that the best gift I can give in honor of Omar is to be true to myself and openly share my spiritual thoughts, that of others, and what I believe can help to transmute the darkness of grief into expressing the golden beauty of our souls, and the after death communications from contributors. I have trust that whomever is drawn to my book was meant to read it. What Works for Me? So, what works for me? The thought that my nephew has not disappeared into nothingness. I reason, if we pray to God, and some may talk to angels, to saints or connect to a Higher aspect of ourselves influenced by whatever our particular faith or spiritual path may be, there is more to reality that what we currently can see as human beings. Even for those who are agnostic or atheists, know energy never dies which science supports, so why would the energy of a human being ever die? Yes, my nephew is very much alive but without a body. I have felt his presence, felt his love. I accept, it can never replace the tangible touch which we miss in a loved one, but it's comforting to know he is around. |
Dear Omar: Thank you for stepping into my life, even if it was for a short while. You left an impact on all those who loved and still love you. And, I am not saying nice things about you just because you left, ::smile::::, I always loved you because from the time you were a little boy, you showed kindness, a maturity beyond your years and a deep love and respect for your Mom. The journey you both experienced when you were a little boy, could be made into a book or movie, your Mom would like to call it a Mother's Karma. The greatest comfort I have, even when I miss you is that you were a happy teenager and appreciated your Mom which you told your friends. You lived your life to the fullest, and had plans to be a psychiatrist, a field that was perfect for you. Now you are a healer in heaven, and until we meet again, please keep an eye on your Mom as she still needs your spiritual presence to continue moving foward in her llife. Love, Aunt Marie |
