Q: When someone I care for dies, how can I best support them spiritually?

A: Often the people closest to an individual who is making their transition get caught up in the emotions and have a difficult time holding the Light clearly. A good thing to do is to call other ministers or initiates and ask them to hold the Light for all of the people involved—the individual making the transition and the people close to them.

There is a natural grieving process that goes on when someone you care for leaves this earthly plane. They are going to a far greater place. Those left behind need to deal with their sense of loss, and there are many ways to do this. A good suggestion would be to do free form writing on a regular basis, giving you a place to express all the emotions and thoughts connected with the person who has died. You can also write to me, and either burn or mail the letter. As you write, you are allowing me to work with you on the spiritual levels, and I do what I can to assist. Physical activity is also helpful, and doing service can assist you by allowing you an avenue through which your loving and caring for others can flow.
