The hardest part of losing someone we love is overcoming the fear that they are gone forever. These feelings and thoughts can be difficult to resist, as our understanding of death is often obscured by the dominance of scientific “facts.” Despite the teachings of past civilizations, cultures, and religions, which suggest that death is not the end and that we do not truly “die,” we have adopted a narrow vision of why we are here and what happens next.
I often wonder why we have allowed ourselves to stray from these deeper truths and instead embraced limited perceptions imposed by limited minds. While I value and subscribe to science in many ways, it is not the answer to everything. The modern-day obsession with demanding proof for every aspect of existence is both flawed and self-defeating. In scientifically inclined societies, the bereaved often experience profound devastation when they lose someone. In contrast, cultures once dismissed as “inferior” demonstrate a healthier perspective on death. They celebrate it, believing that their loved ones have been released from earthly constraints and returned home—the place where we all truly belong.
It is time for us to free ourselves from misconceptions and embrace the possibility of life beyond death. While we may never fully comprehend what lies beyond, the mystery does not negate its reality.
When you think of your loved ones, resist the sinking feeling of hopelessness. Instead, smile and remind yourself, “We will meet again.” If you doubt this, consider the countless testimonials shared with me by others. Their experiences cannot all be dismissed—they point to a truth that resonates deeply within us all.
