The hardest, seemingly most cruel thing is waiting on a love one to transition from this realm to the spiritual realm. It’s the waiting, the not knowing when, the updates, the inability to be there. All of the things. The roller-coaster of grieving but not knowing if you should because it hasn’t happened yet. The end is near but gives no time or date.
Do you hope for a different outcome? Is it their will to move on? Is it God’s will? What do we know?! God’s thoughts and ways are of a higher plane above our Earthly pay grade. It is beyond us. Especially, when it comes to things like this. You don’t want to go against a person’s will or God’s will in my religion.
Enduring this time frame is hard on the mind, emotions, body. It’s nerve wrecking. Yet, it must be harder on them. Especially, if pain is obviously involved. We do not know, however, exactly what they are feeling and what they are going through.
This slipping away, into the marvelous light, this long way home, is something we cannot imagine from this side of the coin. Yet, we too, are greatly affected.
My edit: I also thought of how I was a home health aide and many times I’d be there for hospice patients. It was a privilege to care for those slipping into the marvelous light. It is a privilege to care for a loved one as they journey. Difficult? Yes. An honor? Absolutely.
