About two years ago, when I was relaxing in my bed in the early morning hours, I felt my mother's presence standing next to my bed. I then had a very unusual deep surge of love in my heart; it was so intense that it was almost painful; I was able to remember the love I felt for her with my heart instead of my mind. Then I started to sob as I connected to the 'memories' of my heart. As I was going through the intense remembering, I heard my mother's voice say 'stop, that!'. Startled, I stopped sobbing and asked her 'are you happy, mom?' to which she replied '"yees'!" It was not an impatient yes, it was a reassuring yes, as if she had told me this before. What was also significant for me was that during this experience, I realized that the heart remembers differently from the mind. Didn't have a clue about this! It is as if the heart has its own memories which the mind does not. Now I understand why sages say the heart is the seat of the soul. Mom stopped by to say hello with her unique personality, one that gave me a sense of connection to her, and one that created a spiritual understanding, which my heart and mind will always remember.

| After Death Heart to Heart Visit My Mother passed away in the year 2000, of old age, so her death was a conclusion to a life that was not an easy one, but was fully lived; she was satisfied until the end, of her role of being a good mother, which she was and still is, as she is with us in spirit. I was at peace we were with her in her final hours, but the death of a loved one is not easy; it often awakens feelings of impermanence or vulnerability that is part of our humanity and it changes parts of our lives forever. |
