So, when do you know that it's time to back off and let nature take its course? As healers, it's innate that we continue to send healing so that healing can take place, but when do we know that it's time nature takes over and we should let it?
Death is the final chapter of our lives and it's not an easy one for sure. Letting go of a loved one is not easy, seeing that person slowly slip away towards light, we want to hold on. It's easier being on the other side, it's easy to console the other that it's natural, part of life, but if it's someone close to us who's in a limbo, our vision gets blurred.
And then the bargaining starts. "Please God, save my loved one, I would never ask you for anything again". "He's been good all his life, he doesn't deserve to die like this", etc...
It's this dilemma I am facing currently, losing a close relative, who's genuinely a nice human being. It's painful to see he's unable to move on, because his loved ones don't want him to go. Praying for him to stay, hoping for a miracle, wishing this wasn't a reality at all. Sadly, it is.
When the question of free will arises, how do prayers work? What happens when God on one hand is innundated with prayers for a loved to be saved, while the soul of the person (who's unwell) is hanging on to his loved ones, wondering what will happen to them once he's gone? Who does God listen to? Is the soul praying to be saved or is eager to be home with the Light? What happens when healing is being sent to the individual, does he accept it and get better? Or does he plead that he wants to be free? How do we know, how do we communicate and understand what to make of this situation? Death is the ultimate reality, when we're back Home.
Are we all afraid to let go? Are we scared or worried about ourselves when our loved one passes on? Or have we forgotten that soul lives on, only this body turns into ash. Is it this maya which binds us to earth while we have forgotten how it is to soak in the radiance of Light. Where everything is same, everyone has to come back to the source from where it got life.
We need to accept this truth and believe that the final call isn't ours. Who calls the final shot, I don't know, but all I can say is that we should humbly accept whatever comes our way. Probably, telling the soul of the person who's unwell, to decide if it wants to stay on or go. There will be no hard feelings at all!
