LOOKING TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE HOW HAS HAD A RECORDED NDE
Hello:
I'm looking to (either in this forum or privately by email) to speak to those of you who have had a NDE.
I wanted to understand certain aspects of the NDE and hope someone can clarify some questions I have.
I'd be forever grateful...
Thanks

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More
Assumptions
An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true. Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions. This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Hi Richard, I hope you are doing better today. I know how terrible it is to lose the lose you love. Sometimes the grief is unbearable. I wish I knew how to deal with this terrrible sadness. I guess we just have to go through it, it's like a storm that has to end. Take care of yourself. Bev
Hi Richard, I hope you can begin to accept what has happened to you. I prey that for myself also. Life without your love is terrible. What can we do? I guess, we try to accept what we cannot change, but for me, right now that doesn't seem possible. I hope you can find your way, I hope I can too. I keep thinking, "better to love and lost, than not to have loved at all". Sounds good but doesn't work for me.
Yesterday, Richard, was a very sad day without my husband celebrating mother's day with me. As I was lying in bed later in the day, I looke up at the ceiling and I saw a basket of beautiful flowers. I never had hallucinations in my lifetime, and I don't know what a near death experience is, but I thought I would share this with you. Bev
Its what we all keep praying for Richard. Just last night I took a sturdy cardboard box that a lamp had come in and I kicked it so hard and so long against the wall I thought I was going to pass out. Some hours can be unbearable. Some minutes we try to breathe. Some days are measured knowing we are one day closer to not having to be here alone and hoping we are going to be embraced by our beloved again.
Its alot of wishing and hoping......and in the interim praying it doesn't last long. I haven't found an end to the suffering but I will say it varies in degrees. And yes, tearing you to pieces sounds all too familiar. We just bear it. Endure it. And this time of year is definitely very very hard. People who live in the old universe still celebrating while we are jumping off the bridge. Soon we will be into January ..... try to find something to keep you busy Richard. Its one of the ways to save your brain from totally going over.....distraction will help somewhat......take care Richard....
