My experience of bereavement was in losing my wife to cancer at age 52. I have written a book about it, details are on this site, because I felt that my spiritual journey might help others who are seeking meaning in the midst of sorrow and bewilderment.

After much seeking and searching and researching, I have concluded that life on earth is only one chapter in the existence of the soul, and that we truly do live for ever. Furthermore, there is no state called Death; there are no dead. Death is merely the door between the physical world and the next dimension of Life. Birth is the entrance door, Death is the exit door.

For the person who passes over, whether young or old, death is not a tragedy. The tragedy is felt by those left behind, feeling the pain and missing the loved one. I have found overwhelming evidence that we continue in bodily form in another dimension of Life as soon as we pass through what we call death. There is no period of being asleep, awaiting a resurrection of the body. We have another finer body as soon as we awake on the other side, and we meet up with family members and soul counterparts and teachers and guides. Life is in fact much less limited than that which we experience in the physical body; yet it is not some cloudy paradise of eternal rest; there is learning, and progressing creatively; there is music, and dancing, and there are many other forms of meaningful existence. Much of it is not unlike earth, and it feels as solid and knowable as we feel on earth.

I hope I am not just pushing my book; I offer it as a pointer to the overwhelming amount of evidence that exists about the eternal nature of Life. The sources are listed for anyone who wishes to search for themselves.

For me, the pain of loss is greatly soothed by knowing that time is an illusion of earth life, and that my wife is still alive and beautiful and enjoying her new existence, and that we will be together again in due course.

My book is available from this site, postage-free,  or from Amazon.co.uk.:
