What does the soul do after the death of the physical body. Where does the soul go after death?

When faced with the death of a loved one, a person more persistently than usual seeks answers to the questions: does there exist an afterlife, what is the afterlife like? What will life be like after death, what will the soul feel after the death of the body? There is a tradition of the Church that describes the other world to the best of our perception. What are ordeals, what do the souls of the dead experience on the 9th day after death, what is special about the 40th day? What are hell and heaven?
The answers to these questions can be gleaned from the tradition of the Church and the experience of Her saints.

What does the Last Judgment mean? Do not think that throughout all human history God has been love, and at the Last Judgment he judges only with justice. It is unreasonable to present God at this Judgment as some kind of despot dooming man to hell. The Last Judgment is called terrible not because God “forgets” about love and acts according to some soulless “truth” - no, but because here the final self-affirmation, self-determination of the individual takes place: is she able to be with God or will she leave Him for hell, will remain outside Him forever.

Hegumen Vladimir (Maslov).

The life of the soul after death has been described by many authors. There is also a certain scientific description. But in different cultures we can observe differences in these kinds of descriptions. And even within the same culture, in particular Orthodoxy, there are differences in the descriptions of different holy fathers about the afterlife, about heaven and hell. Basically, these differences relate to particulars, but, nevertheless, all these ideas differ in some way from each other. Doubts and temptation arise to say that all these descriptions are fiction. What should I do?

Saint John of Shanghai and San Francisco.

Our grief for our dying loved ones would have been boundless and inconsolable if the Lord had not given us eternal life. Our life would be pointless if it ended in death. What benefit would then be from virtue and good deeds? Then those who say: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die” would be right. But the soul was created for immortality, and Christ, by His resurrection, opened the gates of the Kingdom of Heaven, eternal bliss for those who believed in Him and lived righteously.

Death is not what many people imagine it to be. At the hour of death, we will all have to see and experience a lot for which we are not prepared. For many, life after death is something like dreamless sleep. Dark. Only the dream will end in the morning, and death is forever. Many people are most afraid of the unknown: “What will happen? Where does a person’s soul end up?” So we try not to think about death. But somewhere deep down there is always a feeling of the inevitable and a vague anxiety. Each of us will have to cross this line. We should think and prepare...

Archimandrite Augustine (Pidanov).

From the point of view of Christianity, the soul is an essential part of man, created in the image and likeness of God. Man is created eternal, and his soul is immortal. She received her immortality from God, who continuously imparts to her the energy of existence. Death entered our lives after a tragedy that occurred at the dawn of human existence - the Fall. Man began to grow old, and when his body wore out and became obsolete, his soul left him...

Bishop Alexander (Mileant).

Although daily experience says that death is the immutable destiny of every person and the law of nature, the Holy Scriptures teach that initially death was not part of God's plans for man. Death is not a norm established by God, but rather an evasion from it and the greatest tragedy. The Book of Genesis tells that death invaded our nature as a result of the first people's violation of God's commandment. According to the Bible, the purpose of the coming of the Son of God into the world was to restore to man the eternal life he had lost. Here we are not talking about the immortality of the soul, because by its nature it cannot be destroyed, but rather about the immortality of man as a whole, consisting of soul and body.

Osipov Alexey Ilyich, professor of theology.

Church tradition says that after death the soul goes through twenty ordeals - twenty certain tests of the state of the soul before, if you like, its home, which we call the Kingdom of God, paradise. These are twenty steps of ascent to this house, which can become the steps of a person’s fall - depending on his condition.

Hegumen Fedor (Yablokov).

What happens to the soul in the afterlife? According to church teaching, the soul spends the first three days on earth, near the places where it lived. The souls of the righteous, as you know, ascend upward like lightning. From the third to the ninth day, the soul ascends to worship God and become acquainted with the beauties of Paradise. From the ninth to the fortieth day she goes through ordeals, after which the time for a private trial comes. After the trial, the soul is sent to the place where it remains until the Second Coming of Christ. This is how the Church teaches us.

Archpriest Grigory Dyachenko.

Since the pure spirit, by its very nature and according to its laws, is significantly different from the nature and laws of the earthly world, and since departed souls are purely spiritual beings, it is clear that just like the life and activity of these beings in general, so in particular their appearance in the earthly world they must represent many things that are incomprehensible and inexplicable according to the laws of this world. Hence, people who recognize as an immutable law of reason the proposition that only that which can be understood and explained according to the laws of this world can and should be recognized as possible and valid, reject the possibility and reality of these phenomena.

The other world is very interesting topic, which everyone thinks about at least once in their life. What happens to a person and his soul after death? Can he observe living people? These and many questions cannot but worry us. The most interesting thing is that there are many different theories about what happens to a person after death. Let's try to understand them and answer the questions that concern many people.

“Your body will die, but your soul will live forever”

Bishop Theophan the Recluse addressed these words in his letter to his dying sister. He is like others Orthodox priests, believed that only the body dies, but the soul lives forever. What is this connected with and how does religion explain it?

The Orthodox teaching about life after death is too large and voluminous, so we will consider only some of its aspects. First of all, in order to understand what happens to a person and his soul after death, it is necessary to find out what the purpose of all life on earth is. In the Epistle to the Hebrews, St. Apostle Paul mentions that every person must die someday, and after that there will be judgment. This is exactly what Jesus Christ did when he voluntarily surrendered to his enemies to die. Thus, he washed away the sins of many sinners and showed that the righteous, like him, would one day face resurrection. Orthodoxy believes that if life were not eternal, it would have no meaning. Then people would really live, not knowing why they would sooner or later die, there would be no point in doing good deeds. That is why the human soul is immortal. Jesus Christ opened the gates of the Heavenly Kingdom for Orthodox Christians and believers, and death is only the completion of preparation for a new life.

What is the soul

The human soul continues to live after death. She is the spiritual beginning of man. A mention of this can be found in Genesis (chapter 2), and it sounds approximately as follows: “God created man from the dust of the earth and blew the breath of life into his face. Now man has become a living soul.” Holy Scripture “tells” us that man is two-part. If the body can die, then the soul lives forever. She is a living entity endowed with the ability think, remember, feel. In other words, a person’s soul continues to live after death. She understands everything, feels and - most importantly - remembers.

Spiritual Vision

In order to make sure that the soul is really capable of feeling and understanding, you only need to remember cases when a person’s body died for some time, and the soul saw and understood everything. Similar stories can be read in a variety of sources, for example, K. Ikskul in his book “Incredible for many, but a true incident” describes what happens after death to a person and his soul. Everything that is written in the book is personal experience the author, who fell ill with a serious illness and experienced clinical death. Almost everything that can be read on this topic in various sources is very similar to each other.

People who have experienced clinical death describe it as a white, enveloping fog. Below you can see the body of the man himself, next to him are his relatives and doctors. It is interesting that the soul, separated from the body, can move in space and understands everything. Some argue that after the body ceases to show any signs of life, the soul passes through a long tunnel, at the end of which a bright light burns. White color. Then, as a rule, over a period of time, the soul returns to the body again, and the heart begins to beat. What if a person dies? What then happens to him? What does the human soul do after death?

Meeting others like yourself

After the soul is separated from the body, it can see spirits, both good and bad. The interesting thing is that, as a rule, she is attracted to her own kind, and if during life any of the forces had an influence on her, then after death she will be attached to it. This period of time when the soul chooses its “company” is called the Private Court. It is then that it becomes completely clear whether this person’s life was in vain. If he fulfilled all the commandments, was kind and generous, then, undoubtedly, next to him there will be the same souls - kind and pure. The opposite situation is characterized by a society of fallen spirits. They are waiting eternal torment and suffering in hell.

First few days

It is interesting what happens after death to a person’s soul in the first few days, because this period is for it a time of freedom and enjoyment. It is in the first three days that the soul can move freely on earth. As a rule, she is near her relatives at this time. She even tries to talk to them, but it is difficult, because a person is not able to see and hear spirits. In rare cases, when the connection between people and the dead is very strong, they feel the presence of a soul mate nearby, but cannot explain it. For this reason, the burial of a Christian takes place exactly 3 days after death. In addition, it is this period that the soul needs in order to realize where it is now. It’s not easy for her, she may not have had time to say goodbye to anyone or say anything to anyone. Most often, a person is not ready for death, and he needs these three days to understand the essence of what is happening and say goodbye.

However, there are exceptions to every rule. For example, K. Ikskul began his journey to another world on the first day, because the Lord told him so. Most of the saints and martyrs were ready for death, and in order to move to another world, it took them only a few hours, because this was their main goal. Each case is completely different, and information comes only from those people who have experienced the “post-mortem experience” themselves. If we are not talking about clinical death, then everything can be completely different. Proof that in the first three days a person’s soul is on earth is also the fact that it is during this period of time that relatives and friends of the deceased feel their presence nearby.

Next stage

The next stage of transition to the afterlife is very difficult and dangerous. On the third or fourth day, trials await the soul - ordeal. There are about twenty of them, and all of them must be overcome so that the soul can continue its path. Ordeals are entire pandemoniums of evil spirits. They block the way and accuse her of sins. The Bible also talks about these trials. The mother of Jesus, the Most Pure and Reverend Mary, having learned about her imminent death from Archangel Gabriel, asked her son to deliver her from demons and ordeals. In response to her requests, Jesus said that after death he would take her by the hand to Heaven. And so it happened. This action can be seen on the icon “Assumption of the Virgin Mary”. On the third day, it is customary to pray fervently for the soul of the deceased, in this way you can help it pass all the tests.

What happens a month after death

After the soul has gone through the ordeal, it worships God and goes on a journey again. This time, hellish abysses and heavenly abodes await her. She watches how sinners suffer and how the righteous rejoice, but she does not yet have her own place. On the fortieth day, the soul is assigned a place where, like everyone else, it will await the Supreme Court. There is also information that only until the ninth day does the soul see the heavenly abodes and observe righteous souls who live in happiness and joy. The rest of the time (about a month) she has to watch the torment of sinners in hell. At this time, the soul cries, mourns and humbly awaits its fate. On the fortieth day, the soul is assigned a place where it will await the resurrection of all the dead.

Who goes where and

Of course, only the Lord God is omnipresent and knows exactly where the soul ends up after the death of a person. Sinners go to hell and spend time there waiting for even greater torment that will come after the Supreme Court. Sometimes such souls can come to friends and relatives in dreams, asking for help. You can help in such a situation by praying for a sinful soul and asking the Almighty for forgiveness of its sins. There are cases when sincere prayer for a deceased person really helped him move to a better world. For example, in the 3rd century, the martyr Perpetua saw that the fate of her brother was like a filled pond that was located too high for him to reach. Days and nights she prayed for his soul and over time she saw him touch a pond and be transported to a bright, clean place. From the above, it becomes clear that the brother was pardoned and sent from hell to heaven. The righteous, thanks to the fact that they did not live their lives in vain, go to heaven and look forward to the Day of Judgment.

Teachings of Pythagoras

As mentioned earlier, there are a huge number of theories and myths regarding the afterlife. For many centuries, scientists and clergy studied the question: how to find out where a person ended up after death, looked for answers, argued, looked for facts and evidence. One of these theories was the teaching of Pythagoras about the transmigration of souls, the so-called reincarnation. Scientists such as Plato and Socrates shared the same opinion. A huge amount of information about reincarnation can be found in such a mystical movement as Kabbalah. Its essence is that the soul has a specific goal, or a lesson that it must go through and learn. If during life the person in whom this soul lives does not cope with this task, it is reborn.

What happens to the body after death? It dies and it is impossible to resurrect it, but the soul is looking for itself new life. Another interesting thing about this theory is that, as a rule, all people who are related in a family are not connected by chance. More specifically, the same souls are constantly looking for each other and finding each other. For example, in past life your mother could be your daughter or even your spouse. Since the soul has no gender, it can have both feminine, and male, it all depends on what body she ends up in.

There is an opinion that our friends and soul mates are also kindred spirits who are karmically connected to us. There is one more nuance: for example, a son and father constantly have conflicts, no one wants to give in, until last days two loved ones are literally at war with each other. Most likely, in the next life, fate will bring these souls together again, as brother and sister or as husband and wife. This will continue until they both find a compromise.

Pythagorean square

Supporters of the Pythagorean theory are most often interested not in what happens to the body after death, but in what incarnation their soul lives and who they were in a past life. In order to find out these facts, a Pythagorean square was drawn up. Let's try to understand it with an example. Let's say you were born on December 3, 1991. You need to write down the received numbers on a line and carry out some manipulations with them.

1. It is necessary to add up all the numbers and get the main one: 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 1 = 26 - this will be the first number.
2. Next, you need to add the previous result: 2 + 6 = 8. This will be the second number.
3. In order to get the third, from the first it is necessary to subtract the double first digit of the date of birth (in our case, 03, we do not take zero, we subtract three times 2): 26 - 3 x 2 = 20.
4. The last number is obtained by adding the digits of the third working number: 2+0 = 2.

Now let’s write down the date of birth and the results obtained:

In order to find out what incarnation the soul lives in, it is necessary to count all the numbers except zeros. In our case, the soul of a person born on December 3, 1991 lives through the 12th incarnation. By composing a Pythagorean square from these numbers, you can find out what characteristics it has.

Some facts

Many, of course, are interested in the question: is there life after death? All world religions are trying to answer it, but there is still no clear answer. Instead, in some sources you can find some Interesting Facts regarding this topic. Of course, it cannot be said that the statements that will be given below are dogma. These are most likely just some interesting thoughts on this topic.

What is death

It is difficult to answer the question of whether there is life after death without finding out the main signs of this process. In medicine, this concept refers to stopping breathing and heartbeat. But we should not forget that these are signs of the death of the human body. On the other hand, there is information that the mummified body of the monk-priest continues to show all signs of life: soft tissues are pressed, joints are bent, and a fragrance emanates from it. Some mummified bodies even grow nails and hair, perhaps confirming the fact that certain biological processes still occur in a deceased body.

What happens a year after death? ordinary person? Of course, the body decomposes.

Finally

Taking into account all of the above, we can say that the body is just one of the shells of a person. Besides it, there is also a soul - an eternal substance. Almost all world religions agree that after the death of the body, the human soul still lives, some believe that it is reborn in another person, and others believe that it lives in Heaven, but, one way or another, it continues to exist . All thoughts, feelings, emotions are the spiritual sphere of a person, which lives despite physical death. Thus, it can be considered that life after death exists, but it is no longer interconnected with the physical body.

The Bible says that “the dust will return to the earth from where it came, and the spirit will return to the Creator, Who gave it”... Forgive the pun, but today only the dead do not try to find out or find out what happens to the soul when the person dies. So I was puzzled by this question.

Human death - what is it?

With biological and physical points From the point of view, the death of a person is a complete stop of all processes of his life. This is an irreversible phenomenon that none of us can ignore. At the moment of a person’s death, processes occur that are inversely proportional to his creation. The brain is irreversibly destroyed, losing its functionality. The emotional world is erased.

Where is it - the edge of existence?

The Bible says that "the dust will return to the ground from where it came, and the spirit will return to the Creator, Who gave it." In accordance with this, today some scientists have derived the formula In writing, it will have the following two options:

• dust of the earth + breath of life = alive soul person;
• lifeless body + breath of the Creator = living personality.

From the formula it is clear that each of us is endowed with a body and a thinking mind. And as long as we breathe (we have the breath of God in us), we are living beings. Our soul is alive. Death is any cessation of life, it is non-existence. The human body becomes dust, the breath (spirit of life) returns back to the Creator - to God. When we leave, our soul slowly dies away, subsequently being reborn. A decaying corpse remains in the ground. More on this later.

What happens to the soul when a person dies?

Our soul is freed from the body over the course of several days, going through several stages of purification:

So, what happens to the soul when a person dies? From all of the above, we can conclude that she returns back to the Creator, and does not go to heaven or hell. However, please! But what about the Bible, which says that ours goes to either heaven or hell? More on this later.

Where do the souls of dead people go?

Today, scientists are trying to prove the existence of heaven and hell by collecting testimonies of people who returned “from the other world.” For those who don’t understand, I’m talking about survivors. Their testimonies coincide down to the smallest details! Non-believers say they saw hell with their own eyes: they were surrounded by snakes, demons and a terrible stench. Those who have “visited” heaven talk about light, fragrance and lightness.

Where are the souls of dead people?

Clergy and doctors who interacted with such people noticed interesting feature: those who “visited” heaven returned to their physical body enlightened and calm, and those who “saw” hell tried for a very long time to recover from the nightmare. Experts summarized all the evidence and memories of “dead” people, after which they concluded that heaven and hell really exist, with the first being at the top and the second at the bottom. Everything is exactly the same as in the description of the afterlife according to the Bible and the Koran. As we see, there is no consensus. And this is absolutely fair. Moreover, the Bible says that “the day of judgment will come, and the dead will rise from their graves.” Friends, we can only hope that the zombie apocalypse will not happen in our century!

It is important!

So, friends, we have looked at some aspects of a person. I tried to present as accurately as possible some of the opinions of modern scientists regarding this problem. Now let's get serious. Do you know what happens to the soul when a person dies? So I don’t know! To be honest, no one knows the answer to this question: neither I, nor you, friends, nor scientists... We can only speculate, based on certain unproven facts of clinical death of people. There is no direct evidence of life after death or death after death, so we can only operate with unproven arguments that science provides us. As they say, all the dead take a secret with them to the grave...

Incredible facts

A week after Easter, each of us remembers our deceased loved ones. This time is called Radonitsa.

We visit the graves of deceased relatives, remembering what they were like, what role they played in our destiny during life and continue to play after their death.

Close relatives of the deceased

One of the most difficult times in life is when a loved one dies. We miss his physical presence, his hugs and his voice - in short, those physical attributes that we associate with our family, friends or close relatives.

It is difficult to accept the fact that a loved one leaves us forever and moves on to the next stage of existence. But life takes a new turn and offers you the opportunity to see the other side of death.

You have a chance to realize that your deceased relative was much more than just the physical form: skin, muscles and bones. We are talking about the spiritual, not the physical component of a person.

After all, the body was only his earthly shell, an external disguise, in which for some time the indestructible essence of man was located.

The death of your loved ones, in addition to suffering and grief, brings you new discovery and understanding, and you are given the opportunity to strengthen your relationship with the soul of a person close to you.

This understanding will help you awaken and realize that your departed loved ones are much more than just a physical shell.

Here are 8 important things you should understand about the death of your loved ones.

After the death of loved ones

1. You will meet him again...

Numerous clinical and Scientific research they say that after death you will be reunited with your departed loved ones.

Many people who have experienced clinical death have come into contact with deceased loved ones. Some have also been able to experience this during sleep, using ordinary or more ethereal senses.

Unfortunately, only a few manage to experience such an experience. What should you do to get in touch with deceased relatives? There is no clear answer.

Pray more so that you can feel the presence of your loved ones; meditate to become calm and peaceful, so you can feel their subtle presence; solitude with nature, because their souls are everywhere where there is peace and quiet.

Analyze everything you know about the souls of the dead and about contact after death with deceased people. Do you think this is possible? Or you yourself have experienced something similar once or even several times.

If you have some doubts, remember that “spiritual” or non-physical contact is always weightless, short-term and barely perceptible, in contrast to physical contact, which is more familiar and ordinary for us.

Now take a few deep breaths. If the opportunity arises, be sure to watch the film “Talking to Heaven.” One of the scenes in this wonderful film, based on the book by James Van Prague, depicts an episode of a dying old man and his reunion with his loved ones and pets. This exciting and very touching scene cannot help but touch the heart.

Death in different cultures

2. Celebration, because they completed their earthly life!

Many cultures celebrate the death of a relative as the most a real holiday, because their loved one has completed his earthly life and is moving on to a better world.

They also understand that sooner or later the long-awaited meeting with him will happen, because they accept the fact that spiritual life, unlike physical life, is endless.

This understanding makes one feel the sadness and pain associated with the death of a loved one, but at the same time feel joy that they have ended their earthly existence and gone to heaven.

To explain this more accessible language, then all this is like a bittersweet feeling, like when a young man graduates from school: he is happy that he graduated from school, but he is sad because he is leaving the place that has become his second home.

Unfortunately, the reaction of many people to the passing of a loved one is quite predictable: severe pain, suffering and sadness. Few people would think of feeling joy because they have lost a loved one.

Agree, rejoicing at the death of a loved one is somehow unnatural and illogical. Think back to times when you felt conflicting emotions and how you dealt with them.

One thing is absolutely certain: in matters of the perception of death, a person is at a rather low level of development, he has not yet learned to think from a spiritual point of view and perceives death as a physiological process, and not a spiritual one.

For a deeper understanding, one more example can be given. Imagine how incredibly sore your feet would be after walking all day in uncomfortable shoes. Now think how wonderful it would be at the end of the day to kick off those hated shoes and put your feet in a bath with warm water. Something similar happens to the body after death, especially when the person is old, sick or infirm.

3. They have a wonderful experience.

Remember that your deceased loved one is currently in better world. Of course, provided that it is not Hitler or another vile villain who did a lot of bad things during his earthly life.

Remember your most better days, happiest, healthiest, most energetic moments, and then multiply them by a million. The soul of a departed person experiences approximately the same sensations in heaven if he did not commit evil during his earthly life.

Agree, in this way, death no longer seems so terrible. The soul feels so good that it merges with this light and the pure energy that the other world emits.

Perhaps it sounds too good to be true. But sometimes during earthly life we ​​are accustomed to struggle and experience a lot of disappointments, so that, as a rule, we wait for new bad news.

This is why it is so important to accept what the souls of our deceased relatives afterlife life is much better and calmer than on earth. They enjoy the light and freedom that heaven has given them.

Here's another one sad story, which, nevertheless, has very deep meaning. Mother who lost only son, decided to heal her grief by helping other people.

Every week she brought a bowl of soup to a homeless person, and each time, helping a homeless person, she silently repeated the name of her late son and imagined her dear face. She focused her thoughts on the happy times they spent together.

Instead of wallowing in sadness and pain, she decided to help those in need and remember joyful moments, thereby easing the pain of loss.

How to accept the death of a loved one

4. You can focus on three important elements: anticipation, joy and gratitude.

In case of loss loved one try to focus on these emotions. They will help you take your mind off grief and pain and indulge in kinder feelings.

You can look forward to the moment when you will meet again your loved one who has left this world. You may also experience the joy of knowing that the soul of a loved one is in a better place.

Imagine that she is in beautiful green pastures and free from the trials and tribulations that she endured during her earthly life.

And you should also feel grateful for all the wonderful times you had together and all the wonderful memories you made. So when your sadness becomes too much, try to focus on these three sensations.

Focusing on these positive feelings will ease your grief and suffering and will also help you remember that life and love are eternal.

Think about a deep loss or disappointment in your life and how you could apply this threefold formula in your life.

Here's another story from a heartbroken mother: Rachel lost her son less than a year ago.

"The past eleven months have been a period of great pain, sorrow and suffering, but also the most tall, which I have ever experienced." An amazing statement, isn't it?

However, this is exactly what happened in Rachel's life. After the death of her beloved son, she began to help other children who had no parents. Moreover, according to her, her own son helps her in good deeds, being in another dimension.

5. Your deceased loved ones sometimes try to tell you something.

Each of us has heard that sometimes it happens that the soul of our deceased loved one tries to convey some important message to us living on earth.

How to hear it and interpret it correctly?

If you want to receive a message from your loved ones, of course you can visit a psychic. There are people who are intermediaries between the world of the living and the world of the dead.

However, many people take advantage of the fact that inconsolable relatives want to communicate with their deceased loved ones. Scammers pose as magicians, sorcerers and psychics and simply make a lot of money from this, without helping in any way, but on the contrary, aggravating the situation.

You can also save time, money and nerves by not going to psychics. After all, in fact, all the messages that the souls of deceased relatives send to us are approximately the same: they just want you to be happy; know that they are alive and well; don't worry about them; enjoy life on Earth; and be sure that sooner or later you will meet them again.

First of all, free yourself from any feelings of guilt associated with the person who has left. Perhaps you once did not treat him very well, did something bad to him, or, on the contrary, did not do something to help him, did not say words of love.

Don't blame yourself for this, let go of the guilt.

Each soul leaves earthly life at its own time and you should not blame yourself for anything. This way you make things worse for both yourself and your loved one who has already left this world.

If you feel any guilt, free yourself from this feeling that simply devours you and does not bring any benefit to others or your own soul.

Such low energy emotions can prevent more powerful and positive energy flows from arising, thereby poisoning your life.

In addition, there are many films on similar topics. An example of such a film would be the wonderful film “Ghost” with Demi Moore in the title role.

Remember how the heroine of the film communicated with the spirit of her deceased lover, and how throughout the entire film he tried to reveal to her the secret of his death.

Try to free yourself from various experiences associated with life and death. Believe me, only by looking at death as the next stage in the endless saga of life, can you feel relief and move on with your life.

6. Death is an important part of life

We've all wondered, "Why do we have to die? Why don't people live forever?" The answer is simple: we don't actually die, we just change external form of its existence.

This change looks like a terrible end to existence for those people who look at life only as an earthly existence.

Also imagine how boring and suffocating the constant monotony would be. Here's a simple example: think of a favorite movie and ask yourself: "Do I want to watch it every day for eternity?" The answer is obvious: of course not. It's the same with life.

Souls love variety, space and adventure, not stagnation and routine. Life implies eternal change. This is a great attitude when you free yourself from fears and understand that everything happens for a reason.

Be honest, have you ever wanted to stop time? This is a natural thought, especially when everything finally seems to be going well. You have a desire to stop this time.

But a little reflection on this will help you understand how unfortunate this desire is. If you need more proof, just watch the movie Groundhog Day, where certain events happen over and over again.

Here's another sad but instructive story: Marla's three children died. It would seem that the woman should have fallen into the deepest depression, but instead she asked the following question: “How can I help others survive the death of their own child?”

Today this woman heads the group “Help to Parents Who Have Lost Children.” And this is a perfect demonstration of how we can always choose high the right way, even having experienced a terrible misfortune - the loss of a loved one.

7. Use and share the gifts that the souls of deceased loved ones send you

Some cultures believe that when a loved one dies, they send you a spiritual gift. Many people have noticed significant changes in their personality or energy after someone close to them died.

It is impossible to know someone well without receiving gifts from them. We are energetic beings living in an energetic Universe. All of our interactions result in a literal exchange of physical molecules and energy patterns.

Imagine that the souls of deceased loved ones can convey their love, ideas, inspiration to those who remain on Earth and whom they love very much.
