As per my last posting, I have recently lost my partner, Michele, to cancer.  3 days later I also lost my father who passed peacefully in his sleep at the age 89.  People have different ways of dealing with loss and I hope that this posting might help others going through the same thing to find some comfort.  Most religions or forms of spirituality believe that the soul lives on, or that you are reincarnated. 

When I was very young, I remember our local priest, Father Pierson telling us that before a baby is born, it is warm secure and comfortable inside its mothers womb.  During birth, when it is being pushed out of this safe environment, it must feel like death is coming.  It is the end of life as the baby knows it.  But instead it is being born into a much wider world to grow far beyond the limitations of the womb. 

So it is explained Father Pierson, that when our soul leaves our earthly body, it feels like death is coming, but you are really being born into an even wider world of far greater possibilities.

I also like the story told by the famous American motivational speaker and author, Anthony Robins.  He relays how his son came home upset one day because a school friend had passed away.  Anthony Robins told his son not to feel too bad, because his friend had become a “butterfly” now.  The son stopped; “what do you mean, a butterfly”?

Anthony Robins explained that when a caterpillar starts to change into a butterfly it goes into a cocoon.  To the outside world, the cocoon looks dead.  But the caterpillar is not dying, it is transforming into something better and more beautiful.  He continued that his sons friend had also transformed into something better and more powerful, and though we can no longer see him, he is still there and can see us.

I told this story when I said a few words at Michele’s funeral.  She used to teach dance and always told her girls to smile when dancing.  I told those there that every they saw a butterfly, they should think of Michele . . . . and smile.
