I have received more information from psychics about what happens to the person who has died than I have received about those who survived, so let’s start with the deceased.
The Deceased
After a quick death, many people don’t realize they are dead. People are confused. They rely on spirits from the other side to explain what happened to them. Most souls see deceased relatives, or Spirit Guides, who take their hand and help them either go over a bridge, or into the Light.
In the case of a violent death, the soul “whooshes” out of the body so it does not feel the physical impact or the pain.
Nancy Parsons commented:
“I believe that if there is a tragic moment, a tragic death, a car accident, or an impact like 9/11, that people go to sleep for a while. For example, they are working at their desk, then they are out of their body. Even if they glanced at the cause for a second, I believe that G-d is going to put them to sleep for a while.
“How He wakes them up, or when they come to the realization that are dead, I would imagine is really slow because that was someone else’s free will that has happened to them. At the same time, everything happens in Divine order and they may have agreed to that scenario; they just didn’t remember that they were going out like that.
“However, that’s not always true because I have seen it other ways. There is no one place or thing that I believe happens to everyone. There are levels of understanding.”
It seems that there is a healing period after death. Souls need to adjust to their new circumstances and begin processing what happened to them. After that, they can slowly begin to examine their entire lifetime.
The Survivors
Heartbroken. Confused. Angry. Asking why things changed. Lashing out. Going inward. Grieving. Then, still having to make funeral arrangements.
One reason for religious tradition is that it gives people an outline of what to do. They can ask for advice on surviving through the period of shock and getting to the mental/emotional place where they can begin to process what happened. Traditions also help friends and neighbors know how to respond – again, just to get through the first few days.
The Jewish tradition is to bury bodies as quickly as possible so that the body can begin its trip “from dust to dust.” Moving rapidly also allows the mourners to push through this period so that they can have the following days of solitude to mourn.
Another tenet of the Jewish tradition is that no one mourns alone. While there are periods for solitary reflection, there are also times for the community to join the mourner and share their burden.
It may also benefit the survivor if they can remember what they knew about death prior to the crisis. To reach backward and remind themself that their loved one still exists in spirit – they are not gone forever. To keep in mind the circle of reincarnation, remembering that there is a time for healing, reflection, and integration on the other side. Souls will be reunited.
My heart reaches out with compassion to those near the incidents whose lives have been directly impacted, and to all of us watching from afar, trying to process these violent situations. May everyone be blessed with a healing heart.
